An Enrolled Agent is a tax professional who has demonstrated competence in tax preparation and representation matters. Enrolled Agents generally have unlimited practice rights, meaning they can
represent any taxpayer regarding any tax matter before any IRS office.
If you are a tax specialist looking to add a credential, you might want to consider becoming an EA – Enrolled Agent. EA is the highest credential awarded by the IRS acknowledging your skills and knowledge as a tax expert.
Unlike the CPA exam, one can become an Enrolled Agent with comparatively relaxed educational requirements. This does not make the EA exam any easy.
