What is an Enrolled Agent?

Enrolled Agent is a person who has earned the privilege of representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service by passing a three-part comprehensive IRS test. Some former IRS employees may also become Enrolled Agents. There are also tax compliance verification and a criminal background check that must be passed before someone becomes an Enrolled Agent. See https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/enrolled-agents for full details.
