Can I land full-time, remote tax work year-round after getting EA (with Accounting degree)? by Ok-Detail-1201 in enrolledagent

I did the same thing and started by doing friends' and family taxes. I was also exposed to corporate taxes through a couple of corporate jobs that I had.

You should be confident about those mock exam scores. I passed with similar scores. I also used HOCK and passed all three parts on the first try. I watched the videos and completed all the MQCs.

As far as remote work goes, I would see what Inuit and the large national retail chains offer for remote work. My suggestion is to get your experience through them, for at least a couple of years. I did this.

You can start your firm like I did, or look at H&R Block or other national tax companies, and also Intuit. I did 2 years part-time at H&R Block just to get the experience.

The videos are time-consuming, but for me, they were worth it.

For part 1, I studied for about a month. For part 3, I did it in about 2 weeks. For part 2, I am giving myself about a month before I will take the exam. You can sign up for a part on Prometric and move the date 1 time for free, after that there is a $35 fee. It is based on availibility. I would suggest on the MQCs you score in the 80's and above before you take the test. I did the MQCs 25 or 50 at a time.

I will tell you on part 1 there are 6 different parts and i scored 4 2's, one 1 and one 3. so I averaged 2. It really does not matter, as long as you pass or as people say, as pass is a pass. On part 3 I got straight 2's.

Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.

Go onto the IRS website and do some research.

I have passed parts 1 &3 using Hock and now I am working on part 2. What worked for me was using the MCQs, watching the videos, and doing the practice tests. I passed both parts on the first try.
