Executive Order Proclamation
To All To Whom These Presents May Come, Greetings
Whereas, the enrolled agent profession dates back to 1884 when, after questionable claims had been presented for Civil War losses, Congress acted to regulate persons who represented citizens in their dealings with the U.S. Treasury Department; and
Whereas, the enrolled agent has been important to both Indiana taxpayers and to the Indiana Department of Revenue for its help, and
Whereas, enrolled agents assist taxpayers with issues from the annual compliance filing of their tax return to more complex issues of audits, liens, levies, appeals and collections; and
Whereas, their knowledge, professionalism, and Integrity makes the enrolled agent ‘America’ Tax Expert’;
Now, Therefore, I, Michael R. Pence, Governor of the State of Indiana, do hereby proclaim February 1, 2016 as
ENROLLED AGENTS DAY
in the State of Indiana, and invite all citizens to duly note this occasion.
