Our meetings and continuing education are available to members and non-members alike. However, there are many benefits to joining the National Association of Enrolled Agents.
Advocacy
NAEA has a prominent seat at the table with senior IRS decision makers and has frequent communication with IRS that produces results. NAEA gives member testimonies before the House and Senate on issues that make a difference in your practice.
A Legal Defense Fund was created to assist with the legal expenses required to defend the rights of enrolled agents on the national, state and local levels. NAEA PAC (a bipartisan political action committee), a significant grassroots force helps elect public officials that understand and share the priorities of enrolled agents.
Continuing Education
