BulldogTom Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I just realized that my new enrollment card did not arrive in the mail yet. I sent everything in back in Nov. Put my new address on the application and also sent a fax telling them my new address. Anyone who had to renew in this cycle not get their card?

cathyan Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Mine finally came yesterday. I renewed in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Michael Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I renewed in February and recieved the new card last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulldogTom Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Called OPR this morning. Suprise suprise, I got an answering machine that said leave a message and we will call you back. Doesn't anyone with a government job work anymore. Tax returns still stuck from Jan e-files, applications submitted on the first day of the renewal period not processed. The IRS is just frikkin' lazy. Tom Hollister, CA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJStephens Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 When I renewed two years ago it took about 15 months, a dozen phone calls, and another dozen emails to get them to send mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulldogTom Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Multiple phone calls, multiple e-mails. No response. Just get the answering machine at the OPR office. No response to daily e-mails asking for my new card. I started cc'ing my congressman on my e-mail requests. Won't do any good. I wonder if they are targeting conservative tax preparers now? Maybe I will get a 30 page questionaire asking about the political affiliations of my clients? Tom Hollister, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 An Enrolled Agent who is a MEMBER OF NAEA could contact NAEA for assistance with this. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Definitely. I did when my card arrived with a past expiration date and I couldn't get OPR on the phone. A nice young man reached them, and I received a new card with a future expiration date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will just pester them the old fashioned way, every day a call and an e-mail and cc my congressman. Tom Hollister, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Ah then, therein lies just one benefit of membership in NAEA. off my soap box now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulldogTom Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Ah then, therein lies just one benefit of membership in NAEA. off my soap box now!!! I have a problem with NAEA and any of the EA societies. While I think they are good for the EA community, they don't promote the designation. I bet 1 in 10 Americans know what an EA is. I bet 10 in 10 Americans think that a CPA is always more knowledgeable about tax law. When I see real advertising and improvement in the perception of the EA designation, I will join. But the only way to protest the lack of community education is to vote with my lack of membership. Tom Hollister, CA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 But, Tom, if you were a member you'd be in a position to advocate for them to do as you wish. As a non-member you have no say in how they spend their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not have a say in how the money is spent at some national office that doesn't give a rats @$$ about what I think. And right now I have absolute say over how they spend my money, they don't spend a dime of it. Tom Hollister, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulldogTom Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Got it today. I guess my e-mail telling them I was not a member of the Tea Party did the trick. Tom Hollister, CA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
