NAEA - Who We Are
NAEA is the only professional organization dedicated to advancing the interests of enrolled agents and their clients. NAEA's efforts are supported through a network of affiliated state and local chapters. NAEA's membership includes over 11,000 enrolled agents and other tax preparation professionals.
An enrolled agent (EA) is a federally-authorized tax practitioner who has technical expertise in the field of taxation and who is empowered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the IRS for audits, collections, and appeals. EAs advise, represent, and prepare tax returns for individuals, partnerships, corporations, estates, trusts, and any entities with tax-reporting requirements. Enrolled agents prepare millions of tax returns each year. Only EAs are required to demonstrate to the IRS 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 enrolled agents specialize in taxation.
