Career overview
Tax Professional is a broad career category for work that can include federal tax return preparation and taxpayer representation. Specific duties and authority depend on the role, credential, and jurisdiction. Enrolled Agent is one federal credential pathway within this career; enrolled agents have unlimited representation rights before the IRS. That federal authority does not by itself establish every state-specific tax-preparer requirement.
