Working as a Remote Enrolled Agent

Remote enrolled agent jobs focus on tax — preparing returns, representing taxpayers before the IRS, and advising on tax matters, drawing on the EA's federally-recognised tax credential. As tax work has moved to cloud software, a growing share of EA roles are now offered remotely.

Remote enrolled agent roles sit in tax-preparation firms, accounting practices, and tax-advisory companies, from tax preparer to senior tax specialist. Strong candidates pair an active EA credential with preparation and representation experience. The enrolled agent roles on this site are updated daily and include only positions employers advertised as remote.

Frequently asked questions

Are these enrolled agent jobs remote? +

Yes — every role posted on this site was advertised as remote by the employer. That's our single inclusion criterion: if a position wasn't presented as remote, it doesn't get listed, so every enrolled agent role here is a remote-advertised one. Please note that while we do our best to keep listings accurate, employers occasionally make mistakes in their own postings, so in rare cases a role advertised as remote may turn out not to be — we always recommend confirming the arrangement directly with the employer before you apply.

What is an enrolled agent? +

An enrolled agent is a federally-authorised tax practitioner who can represent taxpayers before the IRS. The credential is earned by passing the IRS Special Enrollment Examination or through qualifying IRS experience.

What do remote enrolled agent roles involve? +

Preparing individual and business tax returns, representing clients before the IRS, advising on tax planning, and resolving notices and disputes.

What is the typical salary for a remote enrolled agent? +

It varies by experience and season — roughly $50,000 to $90,000, with senior and advisory roles higher and seasonal or contract work often paid hourly. Individual postings list compensation where the employer provides it.

How does an enrolled agent compare to a CPA for tax roles? +

Both can prepare returns and represent taxpayers; EAs specialise in tax and are federally recognised, while CPAs are state-licensed with a broader accounting scope. Many tax roles accept either credential.
