An Enrolled agent is the highest level of credential awarded by the IRS.
An Enrolled Agent needs to pass the Special Enrollment Examination (SEE) or have worked for the IRS for at least five years.
Enrolled agents are licensed by the IRS. They are subject to a suitability check and must pass a three-part Special Enrollment Examination,
which is a comprehensive exam that requires them to demonstrate proficiency in federal tax planning, individual and business tax
return preparation, and representation.
Enrolled Agents may generally represent any taxpayer regarding any tax matter before any IRS office, also known as unlimited practice rights.
Enrolled Agents usually help with your tax planning, prepare, sign, and file your tax return, offer tax advice, and represent you before the IRS.
