What is an Enrolled Agent?
An Enrolled Agent is a person who has earned the privilege of representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Enrolled Agent status is the highest credential the IRS awards. Enrolled Agents 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.
