The Qualification And Role Of Enrolled Agents In Tax Representation

By Mary Burns


With the flood of ads for levy help, knowing who to trust or what's involved can be as difficult as the levy debt itself. Levy attorneys and certified public accountants (CPAs) are often the first thought of. Both of these are viable and have their strengths, but there is a third option for levy resolution. The enrolled agent is also licensed to represent others before the IRS, and in many cases can be the ideal choice. To better understand why, let us first look at the basic functions of each, in tax representation.

The service is critical in audits. That word can strike fear into anyone and can cause incredible amounts of stress, anxiety, and pressure for all of those involved. If you find yourself facing an audit, start gathering all of your receipts and paperwork immediately and consider getting some levy representation. You can go it alone, but it often isn't worth the risk or the headache.

Having an attorney at your side can help speed up and smooth out the audit process so you can focus on leading your day-to-day life. Remember that you got yourself into this situation in the first place, so do you really trust yourself to dig out on your own?

Deductions; if this is your first complex levy return, or you have greatly increased the amount of deductions you have, levy agency may be the best route to go to ensure you get your full entitlement. Many people have fairly straightforward levy returns with few deductions, exemptions, and other complexities.

A good firm provides customized services to meet the needs of its client since different clients have different problems. It attentively analyses your levy issues and designs a strategy that is most suitable to work out your levy problems.

Enrolled agents are enrolled to practice before the IRS to represent people and businesses. To become an enrolled agent, one must have worked at an enforcement position within the IRS for at least five years or have passed a series of IRS formed exams. As an IRS employee, one must have held a position interpreting and enforcing the U. S. Levy code as per Circular 230. In either case, the result is someone skilled at levy returns and levy resolution in a direct sense.

No one understands IRS collection better than the one whose job it was to enforce it. While forms and laws are fairly common to all levy professionals, gaging how the IRS will perceive requests and knowing the time spans involved is a plus in negotiation. Because an enrolled agent's license is issued by the federal government, the enrolled agent can help people in any state.

Business- If you are starting a new business or restructuring an old one, levy representation can help you get your finances and paperwork in order. Deductions, employee levy, income, expenses-these are all things that you have to juggle, organize, and understand when building a business. Rules are also constantly changing, which is where levy representation can come in handy.
