20 Questions to Ask an Enrolled Agent Before You Consider Hiring Them to Solve an IRS Problem Part 1 of a 4 Part Series

By Darrin Mish

I'm asked on a regular basis questions to ask of an Enrolled Agent (of for that matter a Tax Resolution Company) before hiring them to help you solve an IRS Problem. How do you know that they know what they're talking about? How do you know they have the experience they that they need to help you during this most anxious and anxiety filled time in your life?

I want to say that I have nothing against Enrolled Agents. I have trained many Enrolled Agents over the years in the finer aspects of resolving IRS Problems. There may even be one in your city or town. That's not the point. But like any profession there are good, qualified, honest Enrolled Agents and some less educated and even unscrupulous Enrolled Agents as well. So I undertook these videos to explain what to look for and questions to ask of any tax practitioner before selecting them to help you solve your IRS Problem.

Feel free to post comments or comments and I will do my best to see that your questions are answered.
