The State of Florida has no standards or laws regulating the conduct or standards of tax professionals. Anyone or his idiot-savant brother, may open up a tax office and receive compensation for preparing tax returns. In fact, according to Marvin Diamond
of Diamond Professional Tax Preparers in Kissimmee, Florida, people have done just that. Diamond complains of companies opening up for just a few weeks during tax season, taking people's money, then closing up and disappearing - while customers are left without even getting their tax returns.
Senator Jeff Bingham's legislation intends to stop those kinds of consumer problems - and worse ones.Once S.
832 passes, there will be thousands of tax professionals with long-term experience, excellent professional track records, but no credentials, who will be forced out of business. They won't be able to become CPAs or attorneys in time for next tax season. Both those professions tend to require college degrees, and intensive examinations. In addition, to be a CPA requires two years of internship with a supervising CPA.There is only one credential that tax professionals might get in time for next tax season. That is the Enrolled Agent's license.
It is awarded when a tax professional passes four examinations offered by IRS each September (or works for IRS for 5 years in certain positions). Interestingly enough - no college degree is required.The four exams are grueling. The pass rate is low - about 25%-30% pass all four parts the first time. Before IRS issues the license, they run a background check on each tax professional.
But, once you pass those exams - you have a national license that is highly respected.
TaxMama has stepped in to help out. In response to the immediate need for licensing, TaxMama's IRS Exam Review Class is inviting all experienced tax professionals to participate in a live, online class this summer. It will be taught by the best Enrolled Agents in the country.Last year, students spanning time zones from Hawaii to New York studied together in live class sessions, from the comfort of their homes.

All of them loved the unique experience. They also bonded with each other and gained a network of advisory and referral sources.TaxMama's EA Exam Review Class will start in June and run for 10 weeks.
