We get the \u201cwhat is the difference between CPA and EA\u201d question all the time. Let\u2019s explore that a bit.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, please keep in mind that a credential does not make someone smart or necessarily capable. We\u2019ve all experienced bad doctors and bad lawyers, and accountants are no different. Bridges still fall down even when designed by credentialed and experienced engineers. So, not being smart or not being capable or not being a professional is not fixed by going to CPA school.<\/p>\n<p>People can breeze thru school and exams by simply being good memorizers. You teach them to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich\u2026 and you teach them to make a ham and swiss sandwich\u2026 but they can\u2019t make a meatball sandwich without specific and detailed instructions. Reason and deduction are rare qualities; take skill A and take skill B, and create skill C. For some, Yes, but not for all.<\/p>\n<p>We are all human\u2026 and prone to all the things humans do. But learning must take place\u2026 and we must better today than we were yesterday to be deemed a capable professional. Credentials and no credentials, that is just good practice of your craft.

Back in the day, Tina Watson, CPA, founding Partner for WCG (formerly Watson CPA Group) will tell you the story of going into a huge room with rows and rows of tables. People are crying. People are puking. All four parts proctored in two days. Yuck.<\/p>\n<p>Today you get to pick which sequence of tests to take, and you can spread it out over 18 months. Once you pass your first part, you must complete all four parts in 18 months. If you fail a part, you must wait until the next testing quarter. First time passing rates on each part is right around 45%. Yes, below half. Did we mention that it was a hard test?<\/p>\n<p>The Enrolled Agent exam is a three part test comprising of mainly tax issues similar to the CPA exam\u2019s Regulation part. Each of the parts are separatelty focused on individual taxation, corporate taxation and representation. It too is a brutal test since the questions can be odd such as \u201cAt what gross vehicle weight does excise tax begin?\u201d Really!? Memorizing that silly number runs the risk of kicking something important like anniversaries and birthdays out of the brain. Google doesn\u2019t run that risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-67220df1979b5\" class=\" wd-rs-67220df1979b5 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Education_Difference_Between_CPA_and_EA\"><\/span>Education Difference Between CPA and EA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>This is probably where the biggest difference between CPA and EA occurs. Enrolled Agents do not have a college education requirement. However, Certified Public Accountants must have right around 150 credit hours from a college or university with a bunch of accounting classes in the mix. Essentially all new CPAs must have a Master\u2019s degree in business.<\/p>\n<p>Each state is slightly different in their education requirements. For example, Colorado CPAs have one of the highest threshold of accounting classes and credits, and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dpo.colorado.gov\/accountancy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colorado State Board of Accountancy<\/a>\u00a0doesn\u2019t necessarily give credit for introductory classes such as Accounting Principles or other classes that schools use to weed out students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-67220dfb48f60\" class=\" wd-rs-67220dfb48f60 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Functional_Differences\"><\/span>Functional Differences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>When it comes to matter of tax law, CPAs and EAs are essentially the same. Recall what we said earlier about being smart and not smart- if your tax professional is not smart, sending them to CPA or EA school is not going to fix the problem. Being a great CPA or EA means a) smarts, b) hard work and c) the desire to continuously improve your craft.<\/p>\n<p>One of the primary differences between CPA and EA is Compilation, Review and Audit work. This is assurance and attestation services where a CPA or a CPA firm is \u201cassuring\u201d that the financial statements are not misrepresented and free of material errors. Enrolled Agents cannot perform assurance and attestation services unless they are also CPAs. Most people don\u2019t need assurance services; they need tax preparation and planning services.<\/p>\n<p>Since Enrolled Agents are federally credentialed, they actually have a wider latitude in tax practice and representation. Conversely, Certified Public Accountants are credentialed by each state, and can only represent matters in that state. When a client comes to WCG (formerly Watson CPA Group) for in-peson tax representation, we have to typically transfer the case to our local Colorado Springs IRS office to resolve the matter. The good news is\u2026 most tax matters are resolved with letters and phone calls regardless of location or state.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0National Association of Enrolled Agents\u00a0answers the \u201cWhat is an Enrolled Agent?\u201d question with the following-<\/p>\n<p>An enrolled agent (EA) is a federally-authorized tax practitioner who has technical expertise in the field of taxation and who is empowered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels\u2014examination, collection, and appeals\u2014of the Internal Revenue Service. In addition to taxpayer representation, enrolled agents often provide tax consultation services and prepare a wide range of federal and state tax returns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-67220e0249639\" class=\" wd-rs-67220e0249639 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_Between_CPA_and_EA\"><\/span>Choosing Between CPA and EA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>You should never choose someone based on his or her credential. There are plenty of Enrolled Agents who simply cannot become Certified Public Accountants because of the education requirement. For example, many smart people shied away from business school but later in life discovered their affinity for accounting (or they lost a bet). Going back to school and taking 12-15 business and accounting courses just to sit for the CPA exam might be nearly impossible- people settle into life, kids and chores.<\/p>\n<p>Pick someone who appears to be your advocate; someone who will help explain tax matters, and leverage what they know about the tax code and your tax world to minimize your tax consequence. You need a tax professional who facilitates effective communication, and approaches the client relationship as a collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Watson, CPA is the Managing Partner of WCG (formerly Watson CPA Group), a business consultation and tax preparation firm, and is the author of <a href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/business-services\/book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taxpayer\u2019s Comprehensive Guide on LLC\u2019s and S Corps<\/a> which is available online.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<style data-type=\"vc_shortcodes-custom-css\">#wd-6852046bb0f48 .info-box-title{line-height:38px;font-size:28px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-6852046bb0f48 .info-box-inner{line-height:26px;font-size:16px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-681452e67fee4 .info-box-title{line-height:38px;font-size:28px;color:#473d3c;}#wd-681452e67fee4 .info-box-inner{line-height:26px;font-size:16px;color:#473d3c;}@media (max-width: 1199px) {#wd-6852046bb0f48 .info-box-title{line-height:33px;font-size:23px;}#wd-6852046bb0f48 .info-box-inner{line-height:25px;font-size:15px;}#wd-681452e67fee4 .info-box-title{line-height:33px;font-size:23px;}#wd-681452e67fee4 .info-box-inner{line-height:25px;font-size:15px;}}@media (max-width: 767px) {#wd-6852046bb0f48 .info-box-title{line-height:28px;font-size:18px;}#wd-6852046bb0f48 .info-box-inner{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}#wd-681452e67fee4 .info-box-title{line-height:28px;font-size:18px;}#wd-681452e67fee4 .info-box-inner{line-height:24px;font-size:14px;}}<\/style><div class=\"wpb-content-wrapper\">[vc_row el_id=\"bus-related-blog-sec\" el_class=\"bus-related-blog-sec\" woodmart_css_id=\"670793c291401\" responsive_spacing=\"eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NzA3OTNjMjkxNDAxIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfcm93IiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=\" mobile_bg_img_hidden=\"no\" tablet_bg_img_hidden=\"no\" woodmart_parallax=\"0\" woodmart_gradient_switch=\"no\" woodmart_box_shadow=\"no\" wd_z_index=\"no\" woodmart_disable_overflow=\"0\" row_reverse_mobile=\"0\" row_reverse_tablet=\"0\"][vc_column]\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6852046bb0f48\" class=\" wd-rs-6852046bb0f48 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\">Related Content<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[vc_basic_grid post_type=\"post\" max_items=\"-1\" gap=\"0\" item=\"416\" css=\"\" grid_id=\"vc_gid:1764094848050-c5726cc8-ef0b-7\" el_id=\"randomizer\" exclude=\"860, 874, 1089, 1208, 1223, 1256, 1301, 1306, 1320, 1324, 1344, 1348, 1351, 1374, 1381, 1385, 1397, 1535, 1548, 1551, 1555, 1563, 1566, 1576, 1581, 1585, 1591, 1606, 1611, 1619, 1627, 1633, 1636, 1645, 12659, 12721, 15206, 15276, 21106, 25566, 25575, 25583, 25599, 25607, 25611\" taxonomies=\"233, 231, 229, 230\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=\"yes\" el_id=\"bus-related-blog-sec\" el_class=\"bus-related-blog-sec\" woodmart_css_id=\"6925ecf122d88\" responsive_spacing=\"eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2OTI1ZWNmMTIyZDg4Iiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfcm93IiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=\" mobile_bg_img_hidden=\"no\" tablet_bg_img_hidden=\"no\" woodmart_parallax=\"0\" woodmart_gradient_switch=\"no\" woodmart_box_shadow=\"no\" wd_z_index=\"no\" woodmart_disable_overflow=\"0\" row_reverse_mobile=\"0\" row_reverse_tablet=\"0\"][vc_column]\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-681452e67fee4\" class=\" wd-rs-681452e67fee4 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\">Related Content<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[vc_basic_grid post_type=\"post\" max_items=\"-1\" item=\"416\" css=\"\" grid_id=\"vc_gid:1764094848049-9ae3d012-2514-8\" el_id=\"randomizer\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column woodmart_css_id=&#8221;672fe0ff0f854&#8243;
