What is an Enrolled Agent

A federally licensed tax professional with unlimited representation rights.

Enrolled Agent is the highest credential awarded by the Internal Revenue Service. Unlike CPAs, who are licensed state by state, an EA can represent any taxpayer, on any matter, in any state. EAs prepare US federal tax returns, advise on tax strategy, and stand in front of the IRS for their clients — at audits, in collections, and on appeals.

For Indian finance graduates and working professionals, the EA license is the fastest, most affordable route into US taxation — a sector where India already processes work for over 1,500 US tax firms, with hiring across Big 4 firms, KPOs, GCCs, and remote consulting practices.

The SEE Structure

Three parts. One credential.
Take them in any order.

Each part is 3.5 hours, 100 MCQs, computer-based. 85 questions are scored; 15 are experimental. The pass mark is 105 on a scaled score of 40–130. You have two years to clear all three after passing your first.

01
Part 1 · Individuals

The Foundation: 1040 and Everything Around It

Filing status, dependents, income types (wages, interest, dividends, capital gains), itemised vs standard deduction, retirement contributions, education credits, EIC and the Child Tax Credit. The bedrock part. Most candidates start here.

100
MCQs · 3.5 hrs
02
Part 2 · Businesses

The Toughest Part. The Most Career-Defining.

Partnerships (Form 1065), S-Corporations (1120-S), C-Corporations (1120), Schedule C sole proprietors, trusts, estates, retirement plans, depreciation, and the dreaded "basis" calculations. Master this, and half your EA journey is done.

100
MCQs · 3.5 hrs
03
Part 3 · Representation, Practices & Procedures

The Rules of the Road.

Circular 230 ethics, taxpayer representation, IRS audit defence, collections and appeals, e-filing requirements, recordkeeping, and practitioner conduct. Less calculation, more rules — but you cannot fake your way through this one.

100
MCQs · 3.5 hrs
2026 Update: The IRS is transitioning the SEE from Prometric to PSI Services from 1 March 2026, with scheduling reopening on 1 May 2026 and testing resuming 1 July 2026. Our prep keeps pace — the syllabus is unchanged, and our PSI-aligned mock interface is built in.

What's Inside The Box

Twelve things that make this not just another EA prep.

The AI Advantage

The tax world is being rebuilt by AI. We trained you for the new one.

AI is already changing how returns are prepared, how audits are flagged, and how tax research is done. Most prep programs ignore this. Ours puts AI at the centre — both as a study partner and as a job skill you'll be paid for.

AI as a Study Partner

Praxis · Your Tax Tutor That Never Sleeps

Course-locked to the EA syllabus. Ask "explain basis in a partnership liquidation" at 2 a.m., get a clean answer. Praxis grades your reasoning on practice MCQs, not just the final letter — so you actually understand why a is right and b is wrong.

AI as an Interview Coach

Vyom · The Mock Interview Agent

Trained on real Indian and US hiring patterns for tax associates. Run unlimited mock interviews, get a structured debrief on technical answers, communication, and US accent comfort — before you ever face a real recruiter.

AI in the Workplace

How Modern Tax Firms Actually Work

We teach you the AI layer that sits inside firms today — automated 1099 reconciliation, GenAI-assisted research, anomaly detection on returns, and how to use AI without violating Circular 230. This is the part most prep courses miss.

AI for Career

Profile IQ · Resume + LinkedIn Optimisation

Pulls your LMS performance, certifications, and project history — outputs a recruiter-ready CV and LinkedIn profile tuned for Big 4 KPO and US tax firm openings. Optimised for the keywords ATS systems actually screen on.

Meet Your Mentor

Live, weekly, with a practising EA — not a recorded voice on YouTube.

Every cohort gets a dedicated weekly doubt-clearing session with Srinivas — where you bring your hardest questions and walk away with answers you can actually use on the exam and on the job.

Srinivas Seripella

Professional Tax Advisor · Lead Faculty, EA Prep

Srinivas is a practising Enrolled Agent and a Certified Management Accountant with deep, hands-on experience preparing US federal returns — individual, business, and complex multi-entity. He's trained corporate teams on MyTAXPrepOffice across the full Form 1040 spectrum, from straight single filers to single-member LLCs with Premium Tax Credits and rental property schedules.

What you get in his sessions: real returns, real edge cases, and the kind of IRS-procedure detail that doesn't show up on YouTube. He answers your questions live, every week, in plain English.

"The exam tests rules. The job tests judgement. We train for both — because a license you can't apply isn't a license worth having."

What we do that the others don't

We benchmark our prep against the global gold standard — Hock International, Gleim, Becker, Surgent, Miles. We've studied what works in their question banks and added two layers most Indian programs miss:

One: hands-on time inside MyTAXPrepOffice, the actual cloud software firms use — fully aligned with the latest IRS test cycle.

Two: AI-native tooling for revision, doubt-clearing, and interview prep — woven through every week, not bolted on at the end.

Note on tax law versions: The IRS exam tests laws as amended through 31 December of the prior tax year. Our content is refreshed every test cycle to match — you'll never study the wrong year.

Frequently Asked

Questions most candidates ask first.

Have one we haven't covered? Talk to a counsellor at info@upskillize.com.

No. The EA exam is open to anyone with a valid PTIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number) from the IRS. There is no degree, age, or work-experience requirement. That said, a commerce, accounting, finance, or MBA background helps you grasp concepts faster.
Most candidates clear all three within 3–6 months of structured study. The IRS gives you a two-year window from your first pass to clear the remaining parts. Our cohort is paced to land you across the finish line within 6 months, with buffer for rewrites if needed.
The SEE is conducted at PSI-authorised testing centres across major Indian metros. Slots are limited towards the end of the testing window (Jan–Feb), so we recommend booking at least 4 weeks in advance. From May 2026, scheduling moves from Prometric to PSI Services.
IRS official cost for a first-attempt pass is approximately $959.75 — covering PTIN, three exam parts at $267 to $350 each, and the Form 23 enrollment fee. Upskillize prep program fees are shared during your counselling call, with on-demand, live cohort, and college-tie-up pricing structured separately.
Hands-on. You'll get practice login credentials for MyTAXPrepOffice, walkthroughs across multiple Form 1040 scenarios — single, MFJ, dependents, rental income, single-member LLC, business returns — and end-to-end review of returns you prepare. This is the part that makes you employable, not just exam-ready.
Resume + LinkedIn rebuild via our Profile IQ AI agent, mock interview rounds with our Vyom agent, direct introductions to our hiring partner network across Big 4 KPOs and US tax firms, salary benchmarking, and offer-negotiation coaching. We also run an internship-to-hire pathway through our FinTech & AI Lab.
Yes — that's our Mode 03 above.

Reach out via info@upskillize.com to start a partnership conversation.
Yes. Enrolled candidates get access to our printed EA prep book at a significant student-only discount — useful for offline revision and annotation. The book is fully aligned with the current IRS test cycle.

Three parts. Six months.
One career-defining credential.

The IRS doesn't make this easy. Neither does most prep. We make it sharper, faster, and more useful at the other end. Pick your mode, talk to a counsellor, start this week.
