What is an enrolled agent? 

An enrolled agent (EA) is a federally-licensed tax practitioner who has proven technical expertise in the field of taxation.

Only Enrolled Agents, attorney's and CPA's may represent taxpayers before the IRS. CPA's and attorney's are licensed by the state, however, the EA license allows her to work in all states.
