A CPA is duly qualified to practice certified public accounting in any state, territory, or possession of the USA. A CPA also has the right and privilege to represent taxpayers to the IRS in the case of a tax audit. This gives a CPA the capability to represent a taxpayer to IRS appeals officers, revenue officers, or counsel.

A CPA may work as a tax preparer.
