Understanding Enrolled Agents

An enrolled agent is a federally licensed tax practitioner who has unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS for any issues relating to collections, audits, or tax appeals. According to the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA)—the organization that represents licensed EAs—they are allowed to advise, represent, and prepare tax returns for people, corporations, partnerships, estates, trusts, and anything else that is required to report to the IRS.

This means that they have the knowledge and experience to provide clients with accurate and comprehensive tax advice.

  2. Representation before the IRS: Enrolled Agents are authorized by the IRS to represent taxpayers in all matters before the agency, including audits, collections, and appeals.
