Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p> An Enrolled Agent is a specialized tax professional who holds the highest credential awarded by the IRS. Unlike typical tax preparers, EAs have comprehensive authority to represent clients before the IRS, making them indispensable in complex tax matters. Their responsibilities include:<\/p> Unlike many other finance careers, the EA requirements are much more lax and, in most cases, can be accomplished in a year or less. <\/p> “I found a job in an EA Facebook group. It started at $25\/hr, but it got bumped up 15% in less than six months. I’m also working with Intuit this tax season at $31\/hr, and I’m trying to build my own business. My business and Intuit will both be done for the year in April, and I’ll probably work 10-20 hours per week at the most for the rest of the year. To clarify, I’m 23, no experience, and no degree. All of these jobs are remote also.” <\/em><\/strong><\/p>u\/Vegetable-Fig-2851<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>
