What are the Differences Between Enrolled Agents and Other Tax Professionals?

Only Enrolled Agents, attorneys, and CPAs may represent taxpayers before the IRS. Enrolled Agents 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. Enrolled Agents are the only taxpayer representatives who receive their right to practice from the U.S. government (CPAs and attorneys are licensed by their state).

Enrolled Agents advise, represent, and prepare tax returns for individuals, partnerships, corporations, estates, trusts, and any entities with tax-reporting requirements. Enrolled Agents’ expertise in the continually changing field of taxation enables them to effectively represent taxpayers audited by the IRS.

Partner & Enrolled Agent

Tina has been professionally preparing taxes for over 15 years. She loves meeting with clients and completing the “puzzle” of creating a tax return.

As an Enrolled Agent, Tina is continually growing and updating her knowledge through ongoing education. She loves to share her knowledge and is available to meet individually or to speak at your event or group. Tina resides in Hebron, Illinois, with her husband and three children. Even though her kids think she is boring because she doesn’t watch superhero movies, she actually enjoys good movies, beekeeping, and cooking.
