Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an Enrolled Agent (EA)?

An Enrolled Agent is a federally licensed tax professional authorized by the IRS to represent taxpayers in all 50 states. Enrolled Agents specialize exclusively in taxation and have unlimited rights to represent clients before the IRS.

2. How do you differ from a CPA or tax attorney?

While CPAs and tax attorneys have broader practice areas, Enrolled Agents focus solely on taxes. That specialization means you’re working with someone dedicated to navigating tax laws and representing clients before the IRS.

3. Who can you help?

I work with individuals and small business owners. Whether it’s preparing your tax return, responding to an IRS notice, or resolving tax issues, I can represent you and guide you through the process.

4. Do you handle IRS audits or notices?

Yes. As an Enrolled Agent, I can communicate and negotiate with the IRS on your behalf, whether it’s an audit, collection issue, or notice.

5. Can you help military families?

Absolutely. I understand the unique tax situations military families face, including PCS moves, combat zone exclusions, and residency rules. See our Military Tax Services.

6. Can you help lower my taxes?

As an Enrolled Agent, I can review your tax situation to ensure you’re taking advantage of all eligible deductions, credits, and planning opportunities. While I cannot change the tax law or guarantee a specific refund, I can help you maximize your tax benefits legally and efficiently, so you keep more of what you earn.
