News Room

Welcome to the NAEA News Room, designed specifically for members of the media. NAEA’s public relations specialists can provide the resources you need to give full and balanced reports on tax or tax-related issues. If it’s information you need, we’ll get it to you when you need it—not three days past your deadline. If it’s expert commentary you’re looking for, we have access to some of the nation’s leading tax and tax legislation experts and will connect you with them in a timely manner.

Enrolled agents (EAs) are licensed by the US Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before the IRS for audits, appeals and collections. While certified public accountants may or may not specialize in taxes, enrolled agents are all tax specialists. In order to earn the EA license, they must pass a stringent three-part exam and complete annual continuing professional education requirements that keep them up-to-date on the latest changes in the tax code. 

For more information, please contact NAEA Senior Director of Communications & Marketing, Gigi Jarvis, CAE at vjarvis@naea.org or 202.822.6232, x119. Click here to receive news from NAEA.
