Welcome to Capital of Texas Enrolled Agents’ Web Site
CTEA, or Capital of Texas Enrolled Agents, is an organization
whose mission is to foster the professional growth of its members
through Continuing Professional Education (CPE) and facilitate
communications with the Internal Revenue Service and state
taxation agencies. Our group is comprised of more than one
hundred Austin and central Texas area tax professionals, the
majority of whom are enrolled agents (EAs). Rounding out the
membership are CPAs, attorneys and other tax practitioners.
CTEA members adhere to a strict code of ethical and professional
conduct as set forth by Treasury Department Circular No. 230.
The U.S. Treasury sets rigorous professional standards and work
experience requirements for EAs, who are the only federally
licensed tax practitioners. State regulators license CPAs and
attorneys. In order to maintain their professional status, EAs must
have a minimum of seventy-two hours of CPE (directly related to
federal taxation issues) over a three-year period and must apply to
be re-certified.
CTEA members’ areas of expertise include individual and business
tax preparation, representation before the IRS in examination and
collection issues, tax planning and other financial services. With
their broad spectrum of knowledge and experience, CTEA
members can provide professional assistance to the public on a
wide variety of tax and financial issues at federal, state and local
levels.
