STEVE PIROTTA

ENROLLED AGENT

 

In September of 1987, I took the IRS Enrolled Agents exam.  In January of 1988, I was informed by the IRS that I had passed all four parts (I-Individuals; II-Sole Proprietorships; III-Corporations, S Corporations, Fiduciaries, & Estate and Gift Tax; IV-Ethics, Record Keeping, Appeals, Exempt Organizations, Retirement Plans, Penalty Provisions, & Research Materials) of the exam.  After a background check and a review of my last three years' tax returns, I was issued my E.A. card in April of 1988.  The exam is one of the most comprehensive exams given in the field of taxation.  In fact, only 30% passed the exam.  The exam is given only once a year.

Below is an explanation of the duties an Enrolled Agent can perform, as well as some information concerning eligibility.  Please keep in mind that I represent the client and not the IRS.  The Enrolled Agent's motto is "WE SPEAK TAXES".

"Why Become An Enrolled Agent"?

An Enrolled Agent may represent all classes of taxpayers in any matters connected with presentatIon to the Internal Revenue Service relating to the client's rights, privileges, and liabilities under laws and regulations coming under the jurisdiction of the Internal Revenue Service.  In short, the Enrolled Agent may "stand in the shoes" of the taxpayer in Income Tax, Estate Tax, Gift Tax, Excise Tax and miscellaneous tax matters.  An Enrolled Agent may represent any taxpayer at any administrative level of the IRS, regardless of who prepared the return(s) in question, and at any IRS office without regard to the state of residency of the taxpayer.  Enrolled Agents are recognized throughout the country.

"How Is Enrollment To Practice Obtained"?

Enrolled Agent status may be gained in one of two ways: (a) At least 5 years continuous employment with the Internal Revenue Service during which the individual was regularly engaged in applying and interpreting the Internal Revenue Code and regulations there under, or (b) Satisfactory completion of a comprehensive written examination administered by the Internal Revenue Service which demonstrates the individual's technical competence in applying and interpreting the Internal Revenue Code and regulations there under.  Then the Treasury Department conducts a background investigation to determine the moral and ethical practices of the individual.  If found qualified on all counts, the applicant may be granted enrollment.
