Hi,
For those who may be unfamiliar with the term, here is how it is defined
by the IRS:
"An enrolled agent is a person who has earned the privilege of
representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service by either
passing a three-part comprehensive IRS test covering individual and
business tax returns, or through experience as a former IRS employee.
Enrolled agent status is the highest credential the IRS awards.
Individuals who obtain this elite status must adhere to ethical
standards and complete 72 hours of continuing education courses every
three years.
"Enrolled agents, like attorneys and certified public accountants
(CPAs), have unlimited practice rights. This means they are unrestricted
as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they
can handle, and which IRS offices they can represent clients before."
Here is a link to page on the IRS site that has this description:
https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/enrolled-agents/enrolled-agent-informationAfter an IRS audit some years ago, I've used Enrolled Agents since; and
never looked back.
As with so many other things, YMMV.
Kind regards.
