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.

I moved from Germany to the United States in 1999 after arriving at the disappointing realization, that
the Germans never changed after 1945.
In my attempt to understand this more I studied Psychology
and in 2005 received a B. Sc. in Liberal Arts degree with majors in Psychology and Sociology.
I found that neither the touted "Re-Education" of Germans after the end of World War II,
nor the "De-Nazification" did succeed.
Dating back to the harsh Prussian parenting techniques,
the Nazi ideal of the emotionally unavailable mother (Johanna Haarer) was not reversed after 1945,
and as a consequence, German children until today continue to be raised to become
avoidant/dismissing or disorganized attached adults
(Bowlby, Main, Ainsworth, Chamberlain).
Research over multiple generations shows that without intervention,
parental childhood attachment experiences keep being transmitted to their children
( transgenerationale Weitergabe von elterlichen Bindungsmustern).
The prevailing form of attachment forms the basis of the core value system of a country,
determines the core elements of a personality in a country,
and is the basis of all human communication.
Some chracteristics of avoidant/dismissing attachment to be found in Germany are:
a negative world view, limited emotional and reflective abilities, lacking authenticity,
lacking self-esteem, and low social competence.
Interpersonal contacts are low-quality: low levels of trust, self-disclosure,
mutuality, and satisfaction (Mikulincer, Shaver).
Since values of securely attached individuals are incompatible with values of avoidant/dismissing attached individuals,
as a "earned secure" (Main and Goldwyn) attached individual I realized late in my thirties
that despite all my efforts in translating between these disjunct value systems,
communication could not be successful.
The psychoanalytic term of transference describes events between persons not only in a therapeutic context
but in any everyday contact.
It is an unavoidable and involuntary exchange of concepts of the current culture
and the mechanism of transfer of concepts between generations (Freud: "emotional heritage").
We all agree that another Holocaust should not happen again. However, until today scientists still struggle to understand the root causes of the Holocaust.
In order to create a new, healthy and sane environment for me and future generations of my family,
my personal choice for a solution to the Holocaust problem was to stop this transference/transmission mechanism
( transgenerationale Weitergabe von elterlichen Bindungsmustern)
by
removing myself from the abusive influence of the German childrearing practices,
by removing myself from this ancient, negative, poisonous environment, and choosing a more suitable, healthy environment in my country of choice, the United States of America.

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.
