New Posts ERPA (Enrolled Retirement Plan Agent )
The Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division (TE/GE) implemented the recommendation of the Advisory Committee for Tax Exempt and Government Entities (ACT) that a new category of limited scope practitioner be created. This practitioner is known as an "Enrolled Retirement Plan Agent" or "ERPA." The ERPA program is established under Circular 230 of the US Department of the Treasury and will be administered by the Office of Professional Responsibility. The IRS awarded the American Institute of Retirement Education, LLC (AIRE) the contract to conduct the examinations for the ERPA program.

This message board serves as an unofficial watering hole for persons interested in discussing anything pertaining to the ERPA designation, including the procedural aspects of the needed examinations.

The message board is sponsored by BenefitsLink.com, which is not affiliated with AIRE (but we're a big fan!). AIRE is not responsible for any content on this message board.

For official information about ERPA or AIRE, please see the official web site at ERPAexam.org
