About the EA Part 1 Exam
EA Part 1 is the Individuals portion of the IRS Special Enrollment Examination. This practice page isolates Part 1 so candidates can study individual tax topics without receiving questions from Parts 2 or 3. For the 2026–2027 SEE testing cycle, use Tax Year 2025 and federal tax law through December 31, 2025. Unless a question states a different year, “current year” means 2025. Later enactments and later-year amounts do not replace this baseline.
