Do accountants have to be licensed in NJ in order to practice before the IRS?
First, there is a big distinction between "Practicing Before the IRS" and "Preparing a Return". Return preparers are generally not required to have any kind of licensing, though it does vary from state to state. To "practice", as in act as Power of Attorney for someone before the IRS, you must be one of the following: 1. An Attorney licensed by your State bar 2. A CPA licensed by your State 3. an Enrolled Agent (certified by the IRS) A few others as well can practice in limited circumstances, but those are the big three. Note, however, that there are not any requirements on where they can practice. In other words a CPA could be licensed by the State of California and represent taxpayers in New Jersey before the IRS.
