What is an EA?
Enrolled agents (EAs) are America’s Tax Experts. EAs are the only federally licensed tax preparers who also have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS.
Enrolled Agents (EAs) are tax professionals with technical expertise in tax laws and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations. They are fully authorized to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the IRS in a wide variety of situations, including audits, collections and appeals. All enrolled agents must pass an exam to earn the EA certification, and must recertify every 3 years.
IRS issues take many forms, and can arise even when taxpayers make every effort to follow the rules.
