As an Internal Revenue Agent, you'll be a proactive decision-maker as you work
with customers, businesses, CFOs, CEOs, and the legal and financial communities. Our agents leverage the latest in computers, telecommunications, and data management systems. You will be responsible for planning and conducting on-site examinations. You will regularly work with taxpayers, their representatives, certified public Accountants, and tax attorneys.
You are confusing an enrolled agent with an IRS employed tax agent. Enrolled agents are not employed by the IRS. Yes, IRS agents can personally visit and ask to verify tax related matters.
In most cases the IRS will communicate with the tax payer and then the tax payer could seek the help of an enrolled agent, accountant, attorney, etc.
Accountants mostly prepare returns for taxpayers that are filed with the IRS. Accounts can however represent taxpayers in front of the IRS to retrieve information or resolve a tax issue. Only Accountants, lawyers and enrolled agents may represent people before the IRS.
Enrolled Agents are not accountants, but many accountants do become Enrolled Agents or vice-versa. Today, an enrolled agent would handle settling inquiries, disputes, and claims for payment between the IRS and taxpayers. In addition, the role of an EA has eventually expanded to include preparing various tax forms. Basically, an EA can help you with anything related to your federal taxes and the IRS.
Who you contact when you have an IRS problem depends on the nature of your problem. Attorneys, CPAs and Enrolled Agents (EA) are all authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Each one of these representatives has their unique value. In my opinion, the only reason to hire an attorney is if your case borders on the line of criminal. An attorney can not only help resolve your IRS problem, but he or she can also represent you in court if it comes down to that. Keep in mind that attorneys are usually much more expensive than CPAs or EAs. If all you have are IRS issues with no criminal activity, hiring a CPA or an EA will be just fine.

They were the IRS agents of their day. Americans have never liked the people who take their money for the government.
