Is an advertisement by an enrolled agent depicting the official IRS insignia is proper as long as the enrolled agent is currently enrolled with the Director of Practice?
Using the IRS branding should be okay as long as you don't misrepresent the EA designation. Here is guidance from the IRS:From §10.30 Solicitation. (a) Advertising and solicitation restriction-Enrolled agents, enrolled retirement plan agents, or registered tax return preparers, in describing their professional designation, may not utilize the term "certified" or imply anemployer/employee relationship with the Internal Revenue Service.While not specified, it is reasonable to assume we cannot use synonyms of "certified" in the description. Here are some we should stay clear of in our advertising:accreditedapprovedlicensedvalidatedExamples of acceptable descriptions for enrolled agents are "enrolled to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service," "enrolled to practice before the Internal Revenue Service," and "admitted to practice before the Internal Revenue Service."
