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.
