What’s the Difference Between a Tax Preparer, an EA, and a CPA?

When it comes to tax help, not all professionals offer the same level of knowledge, authority, or focus. Here’s how the main types compare:

  • Registered Tax Preparer
    Anyone with a valid Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) can legally prepare tax returns. Some choose to participate in the IRS Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP), which requires a set number of continuing education hours each year. However, they are not required to pass any IRS exam, and their ability to represent clients before the IRS is limited to returns they personally prepared and signed.

  • Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
    CPAs are licensed at the state level and trained in various areas of accounting, including audits, financial reporting, and tax. Some CPAs specialize in taxation, but many focus on broader financial services. Their ability to represent clients before the IRS is generally allowed, but tax may not be their core area.

  • Enrolled Agent (EA)
    Enrolled Agents are the only federally credentialed tax professionals who specialize exclusively in U.S. tax law. The EA designation is earned by passing a comprehensive IRS exam or through qualifying IRS experience, and requires ongoing continuing education to stay up to date with tax changes.
    Enrolled agent status is the highest credential the IRS awards. EAs have unlimited representation rights before the IRS, meaning they can represent taxpayers in audits, collections, and appeals—regardless of who prepared the return.

At CleverTax, we go beyond compliance. As an EA who focuses on proactive tax strategy and personalized planning, we help individuals and business owners reduce tax liabilities legally and build long-term financial efficiency.
