Enrolled Agent

As a taxpayer, you have choices when it comes to finding a tax professional to prepare your tax return. One of them is to use an Enrolled Agent (EA).

What Is an Enrolled Agent?

An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally licensed tax practitioner knowledgeable in every aspect of taxation under the IRS tax code. The designation of enrolled agent is the highest credential awarded by the IRS, and individuals achieving this status must complete continuing education requirements and adhere to ethical standards. As such, there are fewer than 65,000 practicing enrolled agents.

Why Work with an IRS Enrolled Agent?

Enrolled agents advise, represent, and prepare tax returns for individuals, partnerships, corporations, estates, trusts, and entities with tax-reporting requirements. In short, they do many of the same things that a CPA does but instead specialize in all areas of federal taxation. An Enrolled Agent also has unlimited practice rights and can represent you before the IRS in federal tax court in tax-related matters such as audits, collections, and appeals - no matter which state you live in, own property, or operate your business.

Here’s what else an Enrolled Agent does for you:

• Individual Tax Returns
• Small Business Tax Returns
• Payroll Tax Issues and Resolution
• Sales Tax Returns
• Fiduciary & Estate Returns
• Bookkeeping
• Audit Representation
• Tax Planning for Individuals
• Tax Planning for Small Business

A Tax Specialist You Can Count On

More than a tax preparer, Enrolled Agents are federal tax specialists who can represent you before the IRS regardless of your tax problem or location. And, with the federal tax code becoming more complicated every year, you need a tax specialist with up-to-date knowledge of current tax laws and regulations.
