EA SEE User Fee Reduced From $99 to $66 Per Part

The IRS has issued an interim final rule reducing the user fee for each part of the Enrolled Agent Special Enrollment Examination (EA SEE) from $99 to $66 per part, effective April 20, 2026. This fee reduction follows a 2025 biennial review under OMB Circular A-25, which determined the full cost of IRS oversight is now $66 per part, down from the prior $99 rate established in 2022. The change is primarily attributable to a revised timekeeping methodology and increased exam-taker volume distributing fixed administrative costs.
