They are the only federally-licensed tax practitioners who both specialize in taxation and have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service. In addition to taxpayer representation, EAs often provide tax consultation services and prepare a wide range of federal and state tax returns. The EA profession dates back to 1884.  \nWhat is representation?  \nTaxpayers who find themselves in tax trouble are allowed to represent themselves before the various administrative levels of the IRS. However, most taxpayers would be wise to send a qualified tax expert in his or her place when facing:  \n• an IRS collection action  \n• an IRS audit ofany sort—whether the IRS asks for mounds of documents by mail or requests an in-person examination  \n• an appeal of any collection or examination action  \nTrue or false? EAs are authorized by the IRS to represent taxpayers before the IRS; every EA has passed testing on representation.  \nTRUE. Taxpayers who are represented by an EA have a guide who can lead them through the process, someone who is authorized to speak on their behalf (and in their place) and an advocate who will fight for the best possible outcome.  \nWhy would I want to become an EA?  \nThere are two things in life that are certain: death and taxes. The Internal  \nRevenue Code is constantly changing and there will always be a need for EAs.  \n• EAs offer more. The ability to represent taxpayers before the IRS gives EAs the advantage of offering expanded services to clients, resulting ina competitive edge against other tax professionals.  \n• EAs are competent, knowledgeable tax professionals and are valued more than ever. Approximately 60 percent of taxpayers use a tax return preparer.  \n• EAs are respected among tax professionals. To quote the IRS website,“Enrolled agent status is the highest credential the IRS awards.”  \nHow do I become an EA?  \nThe license is earned in one of two ways: by passing a comprehensive, three-part examination which covers all aspects of the tax code, or having worked at the IRS for five years in a position which regularly interpreted and applied the tax code and its regulations.  \nTell me about this three-part exam—the Special Enrollment Exam (SEE).  \nThe SEE is administered by the Department of the Treasury in conjunction with Prometric.
