What Is NTPI?
The National Tax Practice Institute (NTPI®) is a three-level program designed to prepare tax professionals for a career in tax representation. With each level of this program, the core curriculum enables participants to expand their knowledge and skills, and gain the confidence needed to successfully guide their clients through the often-challenging maze of IRS codes, internal regulations, and agency structure. Please note that this program is open only to enrolled agents, CPAs, and tax attorneys.
Those who complete Levels 1, 2, and 3 earn the distinction of NTPI Fellow®, a designation held by the nation’s top tax practitioners.
How to Become an NTPI Fellow
NAEA’s 2024 National Tax Practice Institute: Level 1 was offered this summer during Tax Summit. Level 2 is available on-demand, and Level 3 will be hosted by NAEA November 12-15, 2024 virtually.
Who Should Enroll?
Tax professionals looking to expand their careers or expand their practices 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 will represent them in an IRS audit, collection, or appeal process.
