HR 7 (Ta) – As Introduced January 6, 2025
SUBJECT: Enrolled Agents’ Day.
SUMMARY: Recognizes February 17, 2025, as Enrolled Agents’ Day to commemorate the
contributions of professional enrolled agents for over 50 years to California taxpayers.
Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1) The enrolled agent profession was created in 1884 after the Civil War to represent citizens
before the United States Department of the Treasury. Since that time, it has evolved with the
creation of the federal income tax system into what we all are accustomed to today.
2) In 1972, a group of enrolled agents formed the founding chapter of an organization dedicated
to enrolled agents in the City of Los Angeles. Within one year, it was the largest
organization of enrolled agents in the country and was the basis for what would later become
the National Association of Enrolled Agents. Five years later, the California Society of
Enrolled Agents was formed.
3) Enrolled agents have been at the forefront of effective tax administration by working together
with both federal and California tax agencies to help taxpayers comply with the tax codes.
Enrolled agents assist taxpayers and business entities with the annual filing of their tax
returns as well as more complex issues like audits, liens, levies, appeals, and collections.
4) Enrolled agents have been an important asset to both California’s taxpayers and California’s
tax agencies. Their knowledge, professionalism, and integrity make the enrolled agent
“America’s Tax Expert.”
FISCAL EFFECT: This resolution is keyed non-fiscal by Legislative Counsel.
