Why the EA

Why the EA from the Philippines.

The Enrolled Agent (EA) is the highest credential awarded by the US Internal Revenue Service. The Philippines is the largest US-tax outsourcing hub after India, and the EA sets you apart for US-tax roles.

  • US tax associates at delivery centres

    Working on US returns at a Big 4 delivery centre or a shared-services team in Manila? The EA supports your case for promotion and for client-facing US-tax roles.

  • Offshore teams and accounting BPOs

    If you prepare Forms 1040, 1065 or 1120 for a US CPA firm's offshore team, the EA supports a pay step-up or a move to higher-paying US-client roles.

  • Freelance US tax preparers

    Serving US clients remotely? Enrolled agents can represent taxpayers before the IRS, which lets you offer a fuller service to US clients.

  • New graduates and career switchers

    Whether or not you have passed the CPALE, the EA has no education prerequisite and three focused parts: a faster US credential than the US CPA.

The Exam

Sit the exam from the Philippines.

PSI has no test centre in the Philippines, so you sit each part from home through PSI's live remote proctoring: you need a private room, a webcam and stable internet. Remote testing for international candidates has been running since 2 September 2026; book your slot and check the system requirements with PSI.

  • Exam fee

    USD 317 per part, paid directly to PSI when you book. PSI accepts MasterCard, Visa and American Express.

  • PTIN first

    You need a Preparer Tax Identification Number before you can book. Our PTIN guide walks through the route for applicants without a US Social Security Number.

  • Three parts, any order

    Each part is 100 MCQs in 3.5 hours, and you can take the three parts in any order.

  • Live dates and times

    PSI's public availability checker (opens in a new tab) shows the current remote dates and start times; no sign-in is needed.

PSI remote start times

Monday to Friday, Manila time

until 31 October

10:00 pm to 2:00 am

from 1 November

11:00 pm to 3:00 am

These are late-night sittings. Each part runs 3.5 hours, so you need a quiet room and stable internet through the night.

PSI runs remote sittings on a US Eastern schedule, so local start times move by an hour when US daylight saving ends on 1 November.
