Do I need a CPA, EA or Tax Attorney?

Learn which licensed tax professional is right for you.

CPA (Certified Public Accountant), EA (Enrolled Agent), and tax attorney are all professionals who specialize in tax matters, but they differ in their qualifications, scope of practice, and focus areas.

CPA (Certified Public Accountant)

  • Qualifications: CPAs are licensed by state boards of accountancy after passing the Uniform CPA Examination and meeting specific education and experience requirements.
  • Scope: CPAs can offer a wide range of accounting services, including tax preparation, audit, financial planning, and consulting.
  • Focus: CPAs typically work with individuals, businesses, and organizations on various financial and tax-related matters.
  • Strengths: CPAs have a broad understanding of accounting principles and can provide holistic financial advice beyond just tax matters.
EA (Enrolled Agent)

  • Qualifications: EAs are federally licensed tax practitioners who have demonstrated expertise in tax matters by passing a comprehensive examination or having relevant IRS work experience.
  • Scope: EAs specialize specifically in tax matters and are authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS for audits, appeals, and collections.
  • Focus: EAs focus primarily on tax preparation, planning, and representation before the IRS.
  • Strengths: EAs have in-depth knowledge of tax laws and regulations and can provide specialized tax advice and representation before the IRS.
Tax Attorney

  • Qualifications: Tax attorneys are lawyers who have specialized expertise in tax law. They must have completed a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree and typically have additional training or experience in tax law.
  • Scope: Tax attorneys provide legal advice and representation on complex tax issues, tax disputes, tax planning, and business transactions.
  • Focus: Tax attorneys focus on interpreting and applying tax laws, providing legal guidance, and representing clients in tax-related legal proceedings.
  • Strengths: Tax attorneys can offer comprehensive legal advice on tax matters, including tax planning, compliance, and dispute resolution, and they can represent clients in court if necessary.
Guiding You To The Right Professional

How They're the Same?
  • All three professionals have expertise in tax matters and can assist individuals and businesses with tax preparation, planning, and compliance.
  • They can provide valuable guidance on minimizing tax liabilities and maximizing tax benefits.
Which is Right for Personal and Business Tax Filers?
  • For routine tax preparation and basic tax planning, either a CPA or an EA can be suitable choices. Both are knowledgeable about tax laws and can assist with various tax-related needs.
  • For more complex tax matters, such as tax audits, IRS disputes, or intricate tax planning strategies, a tax attorney may be necessary, especially if legal advice or representation is required.
  • The choice between a CPA, EA, or tax attorney may also depend on personal preferences, the complexity of your tax situation, and the specific services you require. It's essential to consider the qualifications, expertise, and scope of practice of each professional before making a decision.
