Enrolled Agents Month is celebrated annually in the United States in February, preceding the traditional tax filing season. This period is a time for acknowledging the contributions of Enrolled Agents in assisting taxpayers with tax preparation, offering tax advice, and representing clients in disputes with the IRS.
Enrolled Agents (EAs), a distinctive group of tax professionals, have a history intertwined with the financial evolution of the United States. The origin of the Enrolled Agent profession dates back to the aftermath of the Civil War, specifically with the passing of the Revenue Act of 1862. This legislation, introduced to fund the Union's war effort, established the country's first income tax. It also led to the creation of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a pivotal figure in the administration of tax laws.
The introduction of income tax inevitably resulted in complexities and discrepancies in its application, leading to the need for experts to represent citizens in their dealings with the newly formed Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Thus, in 1884, the role of the Enrolled Agent was formally established by Congress to advocate for taxpayers. These individuals were granted the privilege of representing taxpayers before the federal government, particularly in cases of questionable tax returns.
Over the years, the role and significance of Enrolled Agents evolved alongside the complexities of the U.S. tax code. They became instrumental in helping individuals and businesses navigate the intricacies of tax laws and regulations. EAs are unique in the tax professional community as they are the only group with federal licensure. They earn this designation by passing a comprehensive IRS test covering individual and business tax returns or having experience as a former IRS employee. Their federal license enables them to represent taxpayers in all fifty states, which sets them apart from other tax professionals usually licensed by individual states.
During Enrolled Agents Month, educational seminars, public awareness campaigns, and community service initiatives for underserved populations needing discounted tax help. Professional bodies such as the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) play a pivotal role in these celebrations, using the opportunity to educate the public about the benefits of working with an EA and to promote the profession's high standards of ethics, professionalism, and expertise.
