Re:Reinstatement
Dues for your professional membership and attestation of continuing education (CE) hours were due earlier this year.According to our records, we did not receive your renewal and your membership was terminated seventy-five days past your expiration.
We do not want to lose you.This has been a tremendous year with dramatic changes that directly affect enrolled agents. We’ve gotten such a great response to the new member tagline “Enrolled Agents: America’s Tax Experts” and we’ve seen an increase in public awareness of the license and the value EAs bring. We’ve also been successful in advocating for the regulation of paid preparers – leveling the playing field so that the expertise of enrolled agents is recognized and respected by taxpayersand IRS. With IRSimplementing new regulations, we are more vigilant than ever to preserve and increase the position of EAs as IRS’ highest credential.NAEA’s hard work will continue to position enrolled agents as the most knowledgeable, ethical and professional choice for taxpayers. Without the support of our members, we cannot do the work necessary to protect your right to practice and to elevate the profession.
We know that this has been a difficult economic time, for both our members and their clients.
