Tennessee Enrolled Agent (EA) CE audits & penalties
What happens if a enrolled agent misses CE requirements in Tennessee, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.
Failure to meet CE places the EA on the IRS inactive roster: the individual may not practice before the IRS, represent taxpayers, or use the 'Enrolled Agent' designation. Reinstatement within 3 years requires a renewal application, completion of all missing CE, and applicable fees. After 3 years of inactivity, enrollment terminates -- reinstatement then requires retaking and passing the Special Enrollment Examination (SEE), holding an active PTIN, filing Form 23, and paying applicable fees. The IRS audits CE compliance and can inactivate or terminate enrollment for deficiencies.Verify with board
