Who Does Your Taxes? Because this year, IT REALLY MATTERS!
The new One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is rewriting the tax code—changing rules around energy credits, estimated taxes, tip reporting, and more.
🧩 With that much complexity, the person preparing your return shouldn’t just dabble in taxes—they should live and breathe them.
That’s where Enrolled Agents (EAs) come in.
👥 EA vs CPA: What’s the Difference?
While CPAs are licensed at the state level and often focus on auditing or general accounting, Enrolled Agents are federally licensed by the IRS and focus exclusively on taxation.
✅ Enrolled Agents:
• Specialize only in taxes
• Pass a rigorous 3-part exam on individual and business tax law
• Must complete ongoing education every year to maintain their license
• Have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS
📉 Not all tax preparers stay current on complex legislative changes.
📈 Enrolled Agents are required to.
So when new laws like OBBBA arrive on the scene, an EA doesn’t just react—they’re already ready.
👉 If you’re serious about getting it right this year, hire a professional who’s trained for this. Hire an Enrolled Agent.
