What exactly is an E.A.?
The acronym E.A., stands for “Enrolled Agent.” An E.A. is a full-time tax advisor and tax preparer who is permitted to practice before the IRS in all matters, with the exception that a small number of E.A.’s are qualified to represent their clients in Tax Court. E.A.’s earn their designation by either passing a difficult IRS exam or having at least five years of experience working for the IRS. They are required to have continuing education to retain their E.A. status. Ahlberg Auna, E.A., spent 5 years working for the IRS as an auditor.
