Why EA’s Vs. CPA’s & Attorneys
- CPAs & Attorneys must obtain licensure in the states they want to serve clients. However, Enrolled Agents have unlimited representation rights before the IRS, which means they are free to accept clients in all 50 states and help them resolve a variety of tax issues.
- Enrolled Agents represent individuals and businesses before the IRS. They also provide assistance to distressed clients who are dealing with filing issues, back taxes, appeals or other tax-related collection issues.
- But this is only a fraction of what they are permitted to do. Since they are granted unlimited representation rights by the IRS, Enrolled Agents are free to expand their scope of services to help individuals, businesses, nonprofits and government entities with any component of their taxes.
