We are pleased to announce that the staff here at Northend Tax & Accounting Service has completed the necessary continuing education credits to comply with the new guidelines that the Internal Revenue Service has imposed on tax preparers. In addition to this compliance, in September of 2012, Mary Shellabarger received her status as an Enrolled Agent with the Internal Revenue Service. According to the IRS "Enrolled Agents are granted unrestricted rights to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service, demonstrate special competence in tax matters, adhere to ethical standards, and are required to stay current with tax law and regulations by completing a minimum amount of continuing education annually."
