The Texas Society of Enrolled Agents (TxSEA) is a state affiliate of the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA), the professional organization which represents some 40,000 Enrolled Agents nationwide. Enrolled Agents are licensed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), including examination, collection and appeals functions. There are currently over 400 Texas members of the National Association of Enrolled Agents and the Texas Society of Enrolled Agents.
While the Enrolled Agent license was created in 1884 and has a long and storied past, today’s EAs are the only tax professionals tested by IRS on their knowledge of tax law and regulations. They provide tax preparation, representation, tax planning and other financial services to millions of individual and business taxpayers. EAs adhere to a code of ethics and professional conduct and are required by IRS to take Continuing Professional Education. Like attorneys and Certified Public Accountants, Enrolled Agents are governed by Treasury Circular 230 in their practice before the IRS.
TxSEA Mission:
- to foster the professionalism and growth of its members;
- to be an advocate of taxpayer rights and to protect the interests of its members;
- to enhance the role of the Enrolled Agent among government agencies, other professions, and the public at large.
