Mary, EA, NTPI Fellow
I’ve been in the tax industry for over twenty years, but I’ve never experienced a team that works so well together. Every day, I solve meaningful problems for our clients, knowing I have a supportive team behind me.
A Brief History of Enrolled Agents
The role of Enrolled Agents (EAs) has its roots in the aftermath of the American Civil War. In 1884, Congress passed the Horse Act of 1884, responding to fraudulent claims for property losses. EAs were given the power to represent individuals in claims against the government to protect citizens and ensure fairness.
This is where the tradition of advocacy that we continue today began!
Fast forward to 1913, when the 16th Amendment established the federal income tax. The scope of EAs expanded, enabling them to help taxpayers navigate an increasingly complex system.
By 1921, EAs became pivotal in helping taxpayers with claims, tax preparation, and representation. The Treasury Department formalized its role under Circular 230, setting standards for those representing clients before the IRS.
Since then, the role of EAs has grown. Rigorous standards, including an exam and background checks, ensure that we remain the trusted professionals for tax matters.
At 1 Amazing Tax Service LLC, we proudly continue this legacy. As an Enrolled Agent, I’m here to advocate for you, just as EAs have been doing for over a century. Whether it’s helping you deal with the IRS or navigating the tax code, I’m on your side.
