Enrolled Agent vs. C.P.A.
Experts who keep up with the ever-changing area of taxation and are therefore effectively able to represent persons who are audited by the IRS.
Required to show they are competent in tax laws before they can represent a taxpayer before the IRS.
Specifically licensed directly by the U.S. Treasury Department to represent taxpayers on tax matters while CPAs and attorneys are usually licensed by the state in which they reside.
Essentially, enrolled agents focus solely on tax filing and tax representation and are uniquely qualified to assist clients in this capacity.
