I am not just a tax preparer or an accountant I’m an actual Enrolled Agent or EA. Since most people don’t know what that is I thought it might help to explain.
What is the differences between an EA and other tax professionals?
The enrolled agent status is the highest credential the IRS grants a tax professional. Enrolled agents are generally unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and the IRS offices before which they may practice. Unlike attorneys and CPAs, who may or may not choose to specialize in taxes, all enrolled agents specialize in taxation. It's obtained by passing a 3 part exam called the SEE.
