What is an "Enrolled Agent (EA)"

person working on business documents

Enrolled Agent (EA) is a prestigious designation from the Internal Revenue Service. EAs must pass a rigorous examination, a background check, and meet lengthy annual continuing professional education requirements. That’s why EAs account for less than 10 percent of all tax practitioners – and are considered a cut above the rest. By selecting an Enrolled Agent to handle your taxes, you are assured a superior level of taxation expertise – so you can be confident of thorough, insightful service and uncommon professionalism that makes a real difference.

Unlike Certified Public Accountants (CPA), Enrolled Agents (EA) are FEDERALLY licensed by the US Department of the Treasury (that contains the Internal Revenue Service) to represent taxpayers in all USA States and Territories in matters before the Internal Revenue Service. We are exclusively specialized in tax law, and especially suited for tax planning and taxpayer representation. CPAs are only licensed in specific states, and are specialized in financial auditing and attestation services, so not all CPAs are tax specialists.
