LEVEL 1

Level 1 of the NTPI program is designed to review the basics of representation and give the tax professionals the tools they need to start their representation career.

Who should attend?

Tax professionals looking to advance their career by representing clients in front of the IRS. In order to enroll in the National Tax Practice Institute™ (NTPI®), you must be an enrolled agent, CPA, or tax attorney.

These are the only three professional groups that have full rights of representation before the IRS. That means that not only can you speak directly to the IRS regarding your client’s taxes without them being present, you can represent them in an IRS audit, collection, or appeal. 

  • NTPI Level 1 – $750 member/$850 non-member 
  • Space is limited in the live class to 100 participants. 
  • On-demand only package available after the course completes featuring an ask the expert roundtable with some of the speakers.
