About NAEA’s Fly-In 2026

May 5-6, 2026 | Washington, DC

Two days and a powerful mission. Show up for the profession, where tax policy gets written.

NAEA’s Capitol Hill Fly-In is the association’s premier member-only advocacy event, bringing Enrolled Agents to Washington, DC to meet directly with lawmakers, elevate the issues impacting taxpayers and tax professionals, and strengthen the EA voice in federal policy discussions.

This is not a traditional conference. It’s a mission-driven experience designed to prepare you for meaningful conversations on Capitol Hill. Through focused briefings, issue training, and organized Hill meetings, you’ll gain the tools to communicate enrolled agent priorities and help shape the future of tax administration.

The Fly-In is your opportunity to step beyond your daily client work and make an impact at the national level. You’ll join fellow Enrolled Agents from across the country to learn what’s happening in Washington, align on key legislative priorities, and deliver a consistent message to congressional offices.

Why Attend NAEA’s Capitol Hill Fly-In?

Every year, the Fly-In connects engaged members with the policymakers who influence how taxes are administered, how the IRS serves taxpayers, and how the profession is recognized and supported. This is your chance to be part of the conversation.

What You’ll Gain

• Advocacy training and issue briefings so you understand the “why” behind NAEA’s priorities and how to speak to them effectively.
• Direct meetings with members of Congress and staff to share real-world insight from the front lines of tax practice.
• A deeper understanding of federal tax administration and the legislative process—what’s moving, what’s next, and what it means for your clients.
• A stronger connection to the EA community through shared purpose, peer discussion, and a unified national message.
• Confidence to advocate year-round, with talking points, perspective, and relationships you can carry back to your practice.

The agenda and issue priorities are being finalized. Expect a balanced mix of policy briefings, advocacy preparation, and scheduled Hill meetings.

Who Should Attend?

If you care about how tax policy affects taxpayers, the IRS, and the EA profession, this event is built for you. Whether you’re new to advocacy or already active at any level, the Capitol Hill Fly-In gives you a structured, supportive way to show up and contribute meaningfully.

This event is especially valuable for:

• Enrolled Agents who want to protect and advance the profession
• Chapter leaders and emerging leaders
• Practitioners who want to better understand IRS/tax administration policy
• Members ready to represent the real-world impact of tax policy on clients

This is a member-exclusive event, and it’s one of the most valued experiences of the year. Members leave with insight and access they wouldn’t get otherwise. Interested in attending events like this? Join NAEA today!
