On October 15, 2026, Partnertax AI Inc. signed a memorandum of understanding with Chartered Accountants Worldwide Network USA (CAWNUSA). Under the MOU, Partnertax will give IQEX candidates enrolled in CAWNUSA's IQEX course free access to its tax research platform through Academic by Partnertax AI for the course duration.
01What is the IQEX?
The International Qualification Examination (IQEX) lets eligible accountants who qualified outside the United States earn a U.S. CPA license. It tests the U.S.-specific parts of practice: ethics, professional and legal responsibilities, business law, and U.S. taxation. Candidates become eligible through mutual recognition agreements between the U.S. profession and certain accounting bodies abroad.

02Going beyond the summary
U.S. taxation is a dense framework of federal and state laws, regulations, rulings, and official guidance. Answering a tax question means finding the relevant authority, working out how it applies, and confirming the sources behind the conclusion.
Professionals often want to see the authority itself: the Code section, the regulation, the ruling that settles an edge case. Tax research tools make that faster, as long as they show their work. When an answer comes with clear citations and access to the underlying authority, a professional can follow a question as far as it needs to go and check every step.
03What candidates get
As part of the MOU, IQEX candidates enrolled in CAWNUSA's IQEX course can use the Tax Assistant free of charge for the course duration through Academic by Partnertax AI. The platform helps users research complex tax questions, with AI-generated answers supported by authoritative sources and clickable citations.
The access is meant to be there when a topic deserves a closer look. A candidate can ask a federal or state tax question, read a source-backed answer, and open the cited authority to explore it in depth.
04A research-first approach to AI in tax
As AI becomes more common in professional services, the quality and verifiability of its output matter more, especially in a technical field like tax. Tax research depends on the right authority and on the context in which a provision or ruling applies. Tools that make the supporting sources easy to reach help users check information instead of taking it on trust.
