How it works
Recommended hours come from our editorial ranges (Part 1: 60-90, Part 2: 50-80, Part 3: 35-60), scaled by your starting point. The biggest-domain figure uses the IRS question counts: Income and Assets or Deductions and Credits (17 of 85) for Part 1, Business Tax Preparation (37 of 85) for Part 2, and Practices and Procedures (26 of 85) for Part 3.
Which part first?
Start with the part closest to your day job. Preparers often start with Part 1; people with representation or compliance backgrounds sometimes start with Part 3, the least numeric part.
All 3 parts, 902 questions, $39 prep course
Original questions weighted to the IRS content specifications, with explanations that cite the Code, Circular 230 and IRS publications. One payment, free access extension until you pass.
