What is an
IRS Enrolled Agent?
IRS Enrolled Agents —
Tax Experts
You Can Trust
An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally-licensed tax professional authorized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to represent taxpayers in all tax matters.
EAs earn this credential by passing a demanding three-part IRS exam and demonstrating expertise across individual, business, estate, trust, and gift tax issues. They are empowered to advise, prepare, and file tax returns, as well as represent clients before the IRS at any level.
Whether you’re filing returns, facing an audit, or navigating complex tax laws, an EA is equipped to help you confidently and accurately manage your tax responsibilities.
Why Choose an IRS Enrolled Agent?
Enrolled Agents are the only tax professionals federally authorized to specialize exclusively in taxation with unlimited representation rights before the IRS — meaning they can help you with virtually any tax issue. Unlike other preparers or advisors, EAs focus solely on mastering tax code, compliance, and IRS procedures.
They undergo rigorous ongoing education requirements and stay current with the latest changes in federal tax law — ensuring knowledgeable advice and reliable representation for you or your business.
