Why Choose an Enrolled Agent for Your Taxes?
When it comes to getting your taxes done, you have plenty of options. You can use tax software, go to a large tax preparation company, or find a local tax preparer. However, not every tax preparer provides the same service or experience. When offering a local tax service your business, it’s important to choose one that has the expertise that you deserve. Enrolled Agents (EA’s) are tax professionals with proven experience that are required to pass a comprehensive tax exam and meet certain IRS experience requirements. They also have continuing education requirements to keep up with changes in the tax laws.
Another advantage of choosing an Enrolled Agent is; what happens when you’re contacted by the IRS or the state. EA’s have unlimited representation rights before the IRS, and our EA has experience in dealing with PA. They can represent their clients in matters such as audits, appeals, and collection issues. Hopefully you never have to deal with any of these situations, but if you do, it can be a lot less stressful and impactful knowing you have a tax professional who can help you understand what’s going on and represent you if necessary.
