EA Exam Accommodations With PSI: The 2026 Starting Point

3 min read

Last reviewed: July 16, 2026.

PSI administers the EA Special Enrollment Examination in 2026. Older Prometric accommodation forms, phone numbers, processing estimates, and approval rules should not be used for a new request.

Start with PSI before scheduling

The IRS directs candidates who need test accommodations to contact PSI by phone during its accommodation-service hours. Current numbers and hours are published in the IRS enrolled-agent FAQ. The current domestic number is 844-645-2218 and the international number is 913-456-7498; the IRS lists accommodation scheduling hours as 9 a.m.–6 p.m. Eastern, Monday through Friday.

Ask PSI for the current request form, documentation standard, submission channel, expected review time, and instructions for scheduling after approval. Those details can vary by accommodation and should come from the administrator reviewing the request.

Prepare useful documentation

Without predicting what PSI will approve, it is helpful for documentation to explain:

  • the condition or impairment relevant to testing
  • the functional limitation under standard exam conditions
  • the accommodation requested
  • why that accommodation addresses the limitation
  • the qualified professional's credentials and contact information, where required

Do not send medical records to EADojo or to the IRS unless official instructions specifically direct you there. Use PSI's designated secure process.

Plan ahead

Accommodation review and appointment availability can take time. Begin before choosing a fixed exam date, keep copies of submissions and decisions, and confirm whether an approval carries across multiple exam parts.

Accommodations change access conditions, not the exam's tax content or passing standard. The current exam has 100 questions per part and 3.5 hours of exam time under standard conditions.

For remote delivery, verify that both the accommodation and your equipment are compatible with PSI's current remote-testing rules.

Practice in the format that works for you on EADojo.
