While the Enrolled Agent (EA) license was created in 1884 and has a long and storied past, todays EAs are the only tax professionals tested by the IRS on their knowledge of tax law and regulations. They provide tax preparation, representation, tax planning and other financial services to millions of individual and business taxpayers. Like attorneys and Certified Public Accountants, Enrolled Agents are governed by Treasury Circular 230 in their practice before the IRS. To learn more visit the IRS web site at www.irs.gov.
