Enrolled agents specialize in taxation and report their hours of continuing professional education directly to the IRS.
60,000 Enrolled agents in the United States advise, represent and prepare tax returns
for individuals, partnerships, corporations, estates, trusts, and non-profits.
Enrolled agents are the only taxpayer representatives who receive their
right to practice directly from the U.S. government -
whereas certified public accountants and attorneys are licensed by states
and their licenses are only state specific.
I first learned about accounting and income taxes in Germany in 1971-1973,
as a part-time accounting apprentice to a Certified Public Accountant.
From 2007 on I prepared individual income taxes for a Jackson Hewitt franchisee,
reviewed individual income taxes for a Liberty Tax franchisee,
prepared individual income taxes for Certified Public Accountant companies.
As an Enrolled Agent I use my expertise also to provide high-quality tax assistance
at no cost to low- and moderate-income clients and the elderly.
From 2010 on I volunteer for the IRS programs
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and
Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) as a tax preparer and quality reviewer.
From 1973 to 1998 I worked as a computer scientist
at the Deutsches Rechenzentrum,
now: German
National Research Center for Information Technology,
in
Darmstadt, Germany.
My professional emphasis was on portability of software,
on compatibility between computer systems,
and I continue to view and support the "World Wide Web" concept as a set of open,
global, independent, portable specifications that were never intended
to be abused and perverted by certain software and hardware manufacturers.
I am a retired Certified Computing Professional
(CCP)
with 25 years of experience with computers and software. I hold
ICCP proficiency certificates
for Business Information Systems and for the programming languages
BASIC, COBOL, PASCAL, and C++.

In the 1970s and 1980s the German National Research Center for Information Technology
cooperated with multiple German state departments of education.
As a member of a team of six computer scientists,
I participated in this cooperation, developing INTEGA, an automated software system
for creating timetables and for administrative tools
for large integrated schools in Germany.
During meetings with school administrators and members of the state education departments all over Germany
I fine tuned the requirements and the implementation and testing
of the INTEGA software on various computer systems.
|
- From 1973 to 1985, besides using FORTRAN for the system INTEGA, I was acting systems programmer for Telefunken TR440.
- In 1973, in my spare time I designed and implemented system utilities in TR440 Assembler for the ZRS
(Zentrale Registrierstelle für Studienbewerber).
- In 1974, in my spare time I designed and implemented a computerized
accounting and costing system in COBOL on a mainframe computer IBM/370 DOS/VS for a German Fortune 500 company.
In 1980 the system was migrated to Siemens (now Fujitsu) BS2000 and some interactive DCAM-COBOL applications added.
- The system INTEGA, an automated software system for creating timetables, was written in FORTRAN and some Assembler routines.
From 1976 to 1985 I was porting the system INTEGA to IBM/OS using TSO/ISPF/JCL and to Siemens BS2000.
- In 1980 I was acting systems programmer for Siemens BS2000.
In 1982 I was acting systems programmer for IBM/VM. In 1983 I was acting systems programmer for IBM S/1 RPS.
- In 1995, in my spare time I developed a networked point-of-sale terminal system on personal computers
for a German startup company
and maintained it until 2001.
- From 1997-1998 I was acting webmaster using Perl, promoting internet access to German high schools (Schulen ans Netz).
