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.


Which representative should you contact for IRS problems?

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.
