What Is an Enrolled Agent (EA)?

An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally authorized tax professional who is licensed to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service.

Like attorneys and Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), Enrolled Agents have unlimited practice rights, meaning they can represent any taxpayer, handle any type of tax matter, and appear before any IRS office.

 

How Can an Enrolled Agent Help You?

Enrolled Agents:

  • Prepare federal, state, and local tax returns

  • Represent taxpayers during IRS audits

  • Assist with tax resolution and compliance issues

Because Enrolled Agents specialize exclusively in taxation, they stay current with the continually changing tax code and IRS procedures—knowledge that is critical when questions or problems arise.

How Is an Enrolled Agent Different from Other Tax Preparers?

Enrolled Agents are the only tax professionals who earn their credential directly from the U.S. Government. To obtain the EA designation, candidates must demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of federal taxation and pass rigorous IRS testing or qualify through prior IRS experience.

Unlike some preparers who may complete only minimum continuing education requirements, all Enrolled Agents specialize in taxation and are required to maintain ongoing education in tax law and ethics.

For taxpayers seeking experienced, federally authorized representation, Enrolled Agents are often referred to as America’s Tax Professionals.
