What an Enrolled Agent is
The IRS describes Enrolled Agents as tax professionals with unlimited practice rights, which generally means they may represent taxpayers on a broad range of matters before the IRS.
How that helps clients
Tax return preparation and IRS representation often overlap. A filing error, unfiled year, business bookkeeping problem, or owner compensation issue may eventually become an IRS account problem. Working with a practitioner who understands both preparation and representation helps keep those issues connected.
This page provides general educational information. Tax results and representation options depend on the taxpayer's specific facts, records, account status, and current law.
