TAX and ACCOUNTING SERVICES
      What is Enrolled Agent?
  • Enrolled Agent is a tax professional who demonstrated a special
    competence in tax matters.

     How do enrolled agents differ from  CPAs and tax attorneys?
  • Enrolled agents are the only taxpayers' representatives that receive
    the right to practice before the Internal Revenue Service from
    federal government. CPAs and attorneys are licensed by the state.
  • Only enrolled agents are required to demonstrate their competence
    in tax matters to the IRS.

     If I am audited, should not I hire an attorney?
  • If your problem is of criminal nature, yes, you should. Otherwise, your
    better choice is to use an EA, because they have the exact same
    practice rights before the IRS as CPAs and attorneys, same
    competence in tax matters, and, most of the time, they are less
    expensive.
