In this episode you will learn: - The three-year EA renewal cycle is based on the last digit of your SSN, grouped as 0-3, 4-6, and 7-9. - Form 8554 is the application for renewal, and the standard filing window is from November 1 to January 31. - Failing to renew by the deadline results in inactive status, with a late renewal option until April 30 before termination. - Inactive retirement status exempts you from CE but prohibits you from practicing before the IRS. - You must notify the IRS of any change of address within 60 days to remain in good standing.
