CREDENTIALS  
Graduated from St. Peters College in Jersey City , NJ with a BS in Marketing. 
Earned a second degree in Accounting at the University of South Florida in Tampa/St. Petersburg , FL.
 Maintain membership in:
     -The National Association of Enrolled Agents, an organization representing thousands of Enrolled Agents across the USA .
     -The North Carolina Society of Enrolled Agents, of which I currently hold the board position of Treasurer.
     -The Florida Society of Enrolled Agents.
       -The National Society of Tax Practitioners, representing all tax preparers in the USA

Since becoming an Enrolled Agent I have taken Continuing Education Credits, CPE , every year in order to maintain my EA license.  We are required to take 32 credit hours yearly but I always manage to accumulate as many as 60 in a year.  The tax code is constantly changing, and if we don’t keep up with the changes we cannot properly represent our clients. 

Does your preparer take tax courses every year or does he just “read the book”?
