What’s an Enrolled Agent (EA)—and Why Should You Care?
An Enrolled Agent is a federally licensed tax expert authorized by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Unlike seasonal preparers or DIY software, EAs are held to the IRS’s highest standards and can represent you in audits, collections, and appeals—something most tax preparers simply can’t do.
