IRS Commissioner Werfel and Taxpayer Advocate Collins Speaking at Enrolled Agent’s Capitol Fly-in Event
13 Mayo 2024 - 10:24AM
The National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) will
be in Washington for its Capitol Hill Fly-In, taking place from May
21 to May 22, 2024. This two-day event provides enrolled agents
(EAs) with an opportunity to engage with policymakers, IRS experts,
and thought leaders in Washington, DC, to advocate for issues vital
to the tax profession.
NAEA’s advocacy priorities include establishing minimum
standards for tax preparers, improving math error notices,
overhauling the Centralized Authorization File (CAF) system and Tax
Pro Accounts, and balanced enforcement of taxpayer
notices.
"Our Capitol Hill Fly-In is a platform for enrolled agents to
discuss the important matters affecting tax professionals and
taxpayers alike," said Megan Killian, Executive Vice President at
NAEA. "As tax experts who serve millions of taxpayers each year,
enrolled agents are uniquely positioned to provide insight on
what’s working and, more importantly, what is not.”
Enrolled agents play an essential role as intermediaries between
the IRS and more than half of all filers. If the IRS aims to create
an efficient, customer-centered tax administration system, the
service should leverage tax professionals by providing tools for
accessing client tax data and communicating with the IRS on behalf
of taxpayers.
This year’s Capitol Hill Fly-In agenda includes IRS Commissioner
Danny Werfel, National Taxpayer Advocate Erin Collins, former IRS
Commissioners John Koskinen, Fred Goldberg, and Chuck Rettig, and
journalists from Bloomberg Tax, WSJ and Politico.
While this event is for NAEA members only, nonmember enrolled
agents and tax professionals are encouraged to read NAEA’s 2024
priorities and visit NAEA’s Fly-In event page for more
