Dear Members,

The email sent earlier this afternoon requires an important clarification.

Consistent with NAEA's position, the newly introduced legislation calls for the equal and consistent promotion of all Circular 230 practitioners by IRS and not just promotion of the new category of enrolled preparers.  We believe it is imperative that IRS educate the public on the benefits of using an enrolled practitioner and that the public needs to understand the differences between practitioners. 

We apologize for any questions or concerns that the previous email may have raised on this point.  We will continue to work diligently on behalf of our members in seeking the proper recognition for Enrolled Agents. 

Thank you for your continued support of NAEA.

Sincerely,

Susan Zuber, CAE
Executive Vice President
National Association of Enrolled Agents
