Enrolled Agents are tax professionals who have unlimited practice rights before the IRS.

To receive this designation from the IRS the tax professional must take a 3 part comprehensive test that tests their knowledge of the tax law. These tests are given at Prometric testing centers and must be scheduled in advance. The 3 parts cover:
Individuals
Businesses
Tax Law, Ethics, and Representation

Once all 3 sections of the exam are passed the tax professional can apply for enrollment before the IRS with Form 23. An enrollment fee must also be paid and a suitability check passed.

This involves the tax professional having a background check as well as making sure they are in tax compliance.

If you have outstanding tax debt you can still become an Enrolled Agent but you have to have an arrangement made to pay that debt. I talk about Installment Agreements in Episode 10 of the Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens podcast. You can stream it here:

You may be guaranteed an installment agreement. If so, check out my ebook that walks you through that process.

Once the suitability check has been passed and the application has been approved the IRS will send the Enrolled Agent their Enrollment card and Enrolled Agent Certificate.
