What is the difference between Enrolled agents, Certified Public Accountants & Tax Attorneys?

📌 Enrolled Agents are known as the nation’s tax specialists. They hold the highest credential that the IRS can issue to tax professionals. They are federally licensed tax practitioners who have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. They are a perfect choice if you need the following services: Individual and business tax preparation, tax planning, tax audit representation, handling tax debts, bookkeeping and payroll services. If you have out-of-state returns, Enrolled Agents are your best choice because they are the only taxpayer representatives who receive their unlimited right to practice from the federal government (CPAs and attorneys are licensed by the states). If you need help resolving an IRS dispute or expect to owe, you can hire an EA for less money than a tax attorney and they can use their tax law expertise to represent clients in tax proceedings, audit hearings, and appeals.
