Technically no – the CTRC is a designation provided by Tax Rep Network that indicates you have been trained in IRS Representation.  However, without being an EA, CPA or Attorney you cannot actually do representation before the IRS.

If you are an unenrolled tax preparer it is our advice that you go and get your EA first before embarking on obtaining the CTRC.

The minimum score you must have to pass each section is 70%.

There is no limit on the number of times you can take the exam.

The CTRC increases your visibility and lets prospective clients know you have an expertise in resolving tax issues and representing taxpayers before the IRS.

Most of our CTRC holders report back that they gain not only more representation clients because of the designation, but more tax clients in general because taxpayers feel comfortable hiring them knowing that if an issue does arise the CTRC can handle it.

The CTRC is available on-demand, so you can work on it on your schedule.

You must complete the CTRC within one-year of purchase.

When you complete all 5 parts of the CTRC you can submit the application.  We will let you know by email that you have achieved the designation and send you a physical certificate (similar to a diploma that can be framed) for your office, along with a digital logo you can use on your website, email signature block, letterhead, etc.

No, we are not authorized to provide CE/CPE credits for on-demand training, so the CTRC does not qualify for nay continuing education credits.

No, the CTRC is not a license and it does not replace your being a licensed attorney, a certified public accountant or an enrolled agent.  The CTRC is a designation provided by Tax Rep Network that indicates you have taken the courses to have proficiency in IRS representation.

The CTRC is good for three years, and can be renewed anytime within the last year by either taking a renewal class, or by attending either the New England IRS Representation Conference that year or the Tax Rep Summit that year.

If renewed the CTRC will again be valid for another three years, and we will send you an updated CTRC certificate for the next three years.

As of August of 2023, there are 400 CTRC holders across the United States.
