About Karen Munoz, EA

I am a former IRS Revenue Agent with over 20 years’ experience.   Having recently retired from government service, I have transitioned to private practice as an IRS Enrolled Agent providing tax preparation services and representation for personal and business taxes.  

 

Enrolled agents are licensed by the IRS subject to a suitability check and must pass a three-part Special Enrollment Examination, which is a comprehensive exam that requires them to demonstrate proficiency in federal tax planning, individual and business tax return preparation, and representation. Enrolled agents may generally represent any taxpayer regarding any tax matter before any IRS office, also known as unlimited practice rights.
