 Professional Proficiency:
This firm is owned and operated by Phil
Levin, EA an individual who is enrolled to practice
before the Internal Revenue Service. The Enrolled Agent,
designation is given to individuals who successfully
demonstrated expertise in the field of taxation by
sitting for and passing the special enrollment
examination administered by the Internal Revenue Service
annually.
So stringent is this examination, that
only about one third of those who take it are able to
pass. There are currently less than 40,000 enrolled
agents practicing nationally. In fact, Enrolled Agents
account for less that 10% of all individuals currently
practicing in the field of taxation
Education:
The Enrolled Agent is the only
professional credential issued in taxation at the
Federal level. Maintaining the Enrolled Agent
designation requires 72 hours of continuing professional
education every three years. This education is narrowly
confined to subjects related to taxation in order to
maximize an Enrolled Agent's tax proficiency. Their
educational requirements are closely monitored by the US
Department of the Treasury.
Only Enrolled Agents are required to
demonstrate to the Internal Revenue Service 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 EAs specialize in taxation. Enrolled Agents
are the only taxpayer representatives who receive their
right to practice from the United States government.
(CPAs and attorneys are licensed by the states.

How can an Enrolled Agent help me?
Enrolled Agents advise, represent and
prepare tax returns for individuals, partnerships,
corporations, estates, trusts and any entities with
tax-reporting requirements. EAs prepare millions of tax
returns each year. Their expertise in the continually
changing field of tax law enables them to effectively
represent taxpayers audited by the IRS.
What are the differences between EAs &
other tax professionals?
An Enrolled Agent (EA) is an individual
designation provided by the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS). It is one of the few designations that signify a
concentration of competency in the field of taxation.
Unlike CPAs, who may or may not provide tax services,
Enrolled Agents specialize in taxation.
