Working with an enrolled agent is extremely important for your business and tax need. Enrolled agents are the only tax professionals licensed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service.
Enrolled agents are credentialed by the IRS to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the IRS, including tax court. The IRS has strict guidelines for who qualifies as an enrolled agent. Enrolled agents must continually update their knowledge and pass a comprehensive exam covering all aspects of federal taxation administered by the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA, http://www.naeaonline.org).
Because of their extensive training and experience, enrolled agents provide top-quality representation in a wide range of areas, including:
- tax planning;
- examination representation;
- resolution of tax controversies;
- preparation of federal income tax returns;
- preparation of estate and gift tax returns;
- representation in appeals before administrative law judges and the IRS appeals organization;
- and other services related to federal income taxation.
