IRS Proposes Reduction of Enrolled Agent Examination User Fee

The IRS has issued proposed regulations, cross-referencing interim final regulations, reducing the user fee for each part of the Enrolled Agent Special Enrollment Examination (EA SEE) from $99 to $66 per part, plus an amount payable to a third-party contractor. The rule amends 26 CFR part 300 pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 9701 and reflects updated cost methodology under Office of Management and Budget Circular A-25. Comments and requests for a public hearing are due May 20, 2026. [IRS REG-108706-25, 91 FR 20968, RIN 1545-BS11, 04/20/26]
