Why an Enrolled Agent
Not all tax help is the same
The letters after Marty's name matter. Here is what they mean for you.
The IRS's highest credential
Enrolled Agents are licensed directly by the federal government. Unlike a seasonal preparer, an EA has proven expertise in tax law and is held to strict ethical standards.
Unlimited representation
Enrolled Agents are the only federally licensed tax professionals with unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Whatever the issue, Marty can speak for you.
Current, every year
The tax code changes constantly. EAs complete continuing education every year, so your return reflects the rules as they stand now, not last season.
