The National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP), founded in 1979, is a nonprofit professional association dedicated to excellence in taxation. NATP was formed to serve professionals who work in all areas of tax practice. Members include individual practitioners, enrolled agents, accountants, CPAs, attorneys, and financial planners. Through NATP's Tax Research Center, our expert staff annually answers more than 40,000 federal tax questions from tax professionals. State Assistance Volunteers are also available to assist fellow members with state taxation questions. A listing of these volunteers is located in our Members Only section.
