What is an Enrolled Agent?

Enrolled agents are considered America’s tax experts, and are the only tax practitioners licensed by the federal government. EA’s are licensed by the Department of Treasury, and focus exclusively on tax accounting and regulations. Enrolled Agents advise, represent, and prepare tax returns for individuals, partnerships, corporations, estates, trusts, and any entities with tax reporting requirements. In addition to the stringent testing and application process, Enrolled Agents are required to complete seventy two hours of continuing education every three years in order to maintain their license and status. Unlike attorneys and CPAs, all Enrolled Agents specialize in taxation. Therefore, you can feel comfortable when choosing an EA to manage your taxes.
