What does the term "enrolled agent" mean?
"Enrolled" means to be licensed to practice by the federal government, and "agent" means authorized to appear in the place of the taxpayer at the IRS. Only enrolled agents, attorneys, and CPA's have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. The enrolled agent profession dates back to 1884 when, after questionable claims had been presented for Civil War losses, Congress acted to regulate persons who represented citizens in their dealings with the U.S. Treasury Department.
