The changes have been in the news, however, if you weren’tlooking for it, you may have not noticed.  The end results, of the Internal Revenue changes appear to be slow anddeliberate.  After 2013 there will be nomore tax professionals available to the public who are not registered andtested by either the State or the Feds.
Starting January 1, 2014, the Internal Revenue Service willhave its hand on the pulse of every tax professional either directly orindirectly, depending on the initials behind their names.
Tax Attorneys and CPAs will continue to be screened, testedand licensed by the State in which they live or do business in.  Enrolled Agents and Registered Tax ReturnPreparers (RTRP) will be screened and tested by the Department of Treasury,Internal Revenue Service.
When you first look at this new organizational chart the taxprofessionals who represent the IRS, as Independent Contractors, you mightbelieve the recent changes would benefit Tax Attorneys and CPAs, and for themost part this could be true.
Yet, one you become a part of the changes by completing thenew requirements imposed upon tax preparers, you begin to see a slightlydifferent picture emerging.  The changeenables, the IRS to become completely self-contained.
With the new Registered Tax Return Preparer (RTRP) the IRShas managed to enroll and register all levels of individual tax preparers, whoprepare taxes for a fee, except Tax Attorneys and CPAs, who are licensed by theStates.
Enrolled Agents and RTRP have no state boundaries and canwork across state lines.  Get readypeople, because a change has already occurred when most of us weren’tlooking.  My grandfather always said itwas the “little things,” that you have to watch out for.
