Accountant Earns Enrolled Agent Designation

July 27, 2012 - PRLog -- FreedomTax Accounting (www.freedomtaxaccounting.com), an accounting and business advisory firm headquartered in Kissimmee, Florida, is proud to announce that staff accountant Robert Acevedo has recently been awarded the Enrolled Agent (EA) Certification by the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA). This certification gives Robert authorization from the US Department of the Treasury to advise and represent before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) individuals, partnerships, corporations, estates, trusts, and any entity for audits, collections, and appeals.

The EA certification can be earned in one of two ways: by having worked at the IRS for five years in a position which regularly interpreted and applied tax code and regulations, or by passing a Special Enrollment Examination and possessing an acceptable amount of past IRS work experience as determined by the NAEA. All candidates must undergo a rigorous background check and complete 72 hours of continuing professional education every three years. Enrolled Agents are the only taxpayer representatives who receive their right to practice from the U.S. government (CPAs and attorneys are licensed by the states).

Robert has been in accounting for 10 years in both industry and public accounting. He divides his time between tax and accounting work at FreedomTax Accounting and enjoys problem-solving and helping clients with their tax returns, tax debt, and financial health.
