Certified Public Accountant. State-licensed. Tax, bookkeeping oversight, and the only credential that can sign an audit.

Enrolled Agent. Federally licensed by the IRS. A tax specialist who can represent you in any IRS matter.

Annual Filing Season Program. An unlicensed preparer who completes IRS continuing education each year. Return preparation.

There are three states on this page, and they mean different things:

  • Credential verified — matched to the IRS register and holding a recognised credential (CPA, EA, attorney, AFSP).
  • Registered preparer — matched to an active PTIN record, but holding none of those credentials.
  • Unverified — we could not match them at all. That is not a mark against them; many capable bookkeepers hold no licence and need none for the work they do.
