How is it that Enrolled Agents are Federally Authorized Tax Practitioners?
An enrolled agent is a federally licensed tax practitioner who has unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. The Enrolled Agent designation dates back to 1884. Scrupulous representatives victimized many taxpayers when claiming losses in post-Civil War days. Congress recognized a need to regulate individuals representing citizens dealing with the Treasury Department and created the Enrolled Agent status. President Chester Arthur signed a Congressional enabling act creating the Enrolled Agent credential.
Today, Enrolled Agents assist taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service, an instrumentality of the Treasury Department, in a number of ways:
They prepare tax returns They answer questions regarding tax laws They represent taxpayers in disputes with the IRS They are required to demonstrate their competence in tax matters before they represent a taxpayer before the IRS. Enrolled Agents prepare millions of tax returns annually. They also provide tax assistance for estates, trusts, partnerships, corporations, and other entities that are required to report taxes.
"Enrolled" refers to the fact that the federal government licenses these professionals. They are "Agents" in that they are authorized to appear in place of a taxpayer before the IRS. Enrolled Agents differ from other tax practitioners in a number of ways: They all specialize in taxation. They receive their authority from the federal government instead of state governments. Enrolled Agents must complete 72 hours of continuing professional education every three years to maintain their status.
