About this episode
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- The use of "Enrolled Agent" or "EA" is permitted, but claiming to be "IRS Certified" or using the IRS logo is strictly forbidden.
- All advertising, including targeted mailings, must avoid false, fraudulent, or misleading claims that create unjustified expectations.
- If you advertise specific fees for services, you must honor those fees for at least 30 days after the last publication of the advertisement.
- You must retain copies of all direct mail solicitations and a list of recipients for a period of at least 36 months.
- Stating past accomplishments is permissible only if it can be factually substantiated and is not misleading.
