Rights to representation

No law requires the taxpayer to speak voluntarily to an I.R.S. employee. Section 7602 of the Internal Revenue code does authorize certain I.R.S. employees to summon proper persons to appear at a certain time and place to give material or relevant testimony under oath. The date fixed for appearance for the I.R.S. official may not be less than 10 days from the date of the summons.

If contacted by an I.R.S. employee, taxpayers should clearly state they want to consult with an EA, CPA or attorney before speaking as contemplated by the safeguards contained in seciton 7521 of the Internal Revenue code.

Problems confronting you:

I don't have a lot of money.
I want fast service.
No baloney, just the facts.
I'm doing my taxes and/or bookkeeping and I hate it!
I need someone to respond to me, like yesterday, because now I'm in way over my head.
I'm afraid of the I.R.S.
I've probably been cheating myself for years and now I can't sleep at night.
The last time I paid for tax preparation I paid too much (and felt like I'd gone through a production line).
I'm frustrated because I think I should be able to figure this stuff out, but, my God, I've got a life and I feel like I'm wasting it doing this.
I've got a small but growing business, but I won't yet commit to getting a paid, professional bookkeeper, so I have a mess to clean up. I watched the movie Dodgeball; that's how my records look.

More ON Enrolled Agents:

What is an Enrolled Agent?

An Enrolled Agent (EA) is an individual who has demonstrated technical competence in the field of taxation. Enrolled Agents, or EAs, can represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the Internal Revenue Service.

What does the term "Enrolled Agent" mean?

"Enrolled" means EAs are licensed by the federal government. "Agent" means EAs are authorized to appear in place of the taxpayer at the Internal Revenue Service. Only EAs, attorneys and CPAs may represent taxpayers before the IRS.

What are the differences between EAs and other tax professionals?

Only Enrolled Agents are required to demonstrate to the Internal Revenue Service their competence in matters of taxation before they may represent a taxpayer before the IRS. Unlike attorneys and CPAs, who may or may not choose to specialize in taxes, all EAs specialize in taxation. EAs are the only taxpayer representatives who receive their right to practice from the United States government. (CPAs and attorneys are licensed by the states.)

Are Enrolled Agents bound by any ethical standards?

EAs are required to abide by the provisions of U.S. Treasury Department Circular 230. EAs found to be in violation of the provisions contained in Circular 230 may be suspended or disbarred.
