About Me

Renata Bliumaite, a dedicated tax professional, founded her esteemed tax practice in Oak Brook, Illinois, in 2005 after a successful tenure at Ostrow Reisin Berk & Abrams, LTD. Earning her Enrolled Agent designation from the U.S. Department of Treasury in 2008 marked a pivotal point in her career, solidifying her expertise and commitment to the field. Her distinguished status as a Fellow of the National Tax Practice Institute (NTPI) further underscores her qualifications, empowering her to adeptly represent clients at all levels of the Internal Revenue Service. Throughout her career, Renata has been a guiding light for hundreds of individuals, families, and small businesses, deftly navigating the intricacies of the U.S. Tax Code. With years of experience coupled with an unwavering pursuit of ongoing education, she has become proficient in resolving even the most complex tax dilemmas and disputes, achieving favorable settlements for both individual and corporate clients. Renata’s reach extends beyond the borders of Illinois; as an Enrolled Agent, she has advocated for taxpayers across the United States and in several foreign jurisdictions, skillfully maneuvering through the labyrinth of the California Franchise Tax Board. An active member of the BNI Local Business Network, she remains deeply connected to her community, fostering relationships that enrich her professional practice, and WBENC certification.

What is an EA?
An enrolled agent (EA) is a federally-authorized tax practitioner who has technical expertise in the field of taxation and who is empowered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the Internal Revenue Service or audits, collections, and appeals.
What does the term "enrolled agent" mean?
“Enrolled” means to be licensed to practice by the federal government, and “Agent” means authorized to appear in the place of the taxpayer at the IRS. Only enrolled agents, attorneys, and CPAs may represent taxpayers before the IRS. 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.
What are the differences between enrolled agents and other tax professionals?
Only enrolled agents are required to demonstrate to the IRS their competence in matters of taxation before they may represent a taxpayer before the IRS. Unlike attorneys and CPAs, who are state licensed and who may or may not choose to specialize in taxes, all enrolled agents specialize in taxation. Enrolled agents are the only taxpayer representatives who receive their unlimited right to practice from the U.S. government (CPAs and attorneys are licensed by the states).
