Senate Resolution No. 665

BY: Senator DEFRANCISCO

MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
February 1-7, 2017, as Enrolled Agent Week in the
State of New York

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to memorialize
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim February 1-7, 2017, as Enrolled
Agent Week in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance
of National Enrolled Agent Week; and

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 Agents have been important assets to both the
New York taxpayers and the New York State Department of Taxation and
Finance; and

WHEREAS, Enrolled Agents assist taxpayers with a variety of federal
and state taxation issues from the annual filing of their tax return to
more complex issues of audits, liens, levies, appeals and collections;
and

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body particularly wishes to recognize
Enrolled Agents for their knowledge, professionalism, and integrity;
this professionalism and expertise makes Enrolled Agents "America's Tax
Experts"; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim February 1-7, 2017, as
Enrolled Agents Week in the State of New York; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of
New York.
