Why should an Enrolled Agent represent you and your tax filings? What distinguishes an Enrolled Agent from other tax professionals? The enrolled agent is the most expansive license IRS grants a tax professional. An EA has earned the privilege of representing taxpayers before the IRS. Enrolled agents are generally unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and the IRS offices (e.g. examination, collection, and appeals) before which they can practice.

What’s an Enrolled Agent? An EA must pass a three-part Special Enrollment Examination (SEE) that covers individual tax returns, business tax returns, and representation before the IRS. An EA must complete 72 hours of continuing education every three years, taking a minimum of 16 hours annually. An EA generally has unlimited representations rights before the IRS.
