If you are dealing with a Revenue Officer, you probably flinch every time someone knocks at your door or an unknown number calls you. While we typically tell clients that the IRS doesn’t call or show up on your doorstep, the rules are different when a Revenue Officer or Agent is involved.
Revenue Officers aren’t your average IRS employee. They know the tax code very well and have the power to garnish your wages. Revenue Officer tactics are often more extreme than other IRS employees.
Knowing your rights as a taxpayer is important when you are in this stage of collections. Your right to representation and your right to have a Revenue Officer contact your representation rather than you can be a huge burden release. Once you have a tax attorney from our firm handling your case, you will never need to meet with a Revenue Officer alone. We will always be with you and will object if the agent tries to take advantage of you or your rights.
IRS Revenue Officers are deployed when you or your business have enough unpaid taxes to warrant collections from the IRS. IRS Revenue Officers are motivated and judged on two main factors — how much money they can collect toward the satisfaction of the tax liability and how fast they can close a case. The IRS Revenue Officer assigned to you will thoroughly audit your business and ensure that there’s no disconnect between the taxes you’ve filed and the taxes you owe.
While Revenue Officers may show up at your place of business or home, they have no power to arrest you. Each Revenue Officer carries a plastic ID card, and those with a badge may be from the Criminal Investigation Department. Revenue Officers are actually completely separate from the Bureau of Revenue Agents, and they each work for different sectors of the IRS.
By working with Polston Tax, you can determine whether the professional assigned to your case is an Officer or Agent and take the next steps necessary to ensure your case proceeds as smoothly as possible.

You can expect a Revenue Officer to give you Form 9297, which is a summary of the information the IRS needs to review your unpaid taxes.

Paperwork must be organized and filled out correctly. When you work with the professionals at Polston Tax, you can trust us to ensure your paperwork is organized, accurate and clear.
Revenue Officers set hard deadlines that you must meet, but if you are working with a tax professional like Polston Tax, you may be able to negotiate deadline extensions.

You may be able to negotiate with a Revenue Officer if you qualify for an Offer in Compromise or a payment installment plan. These options are for those who may be dealing with financial hardship and are unable to pay their full tax liability.
Our experienced professionals can work with you to determine if you qualify. If you do qualify, we can negotiate with your Revenue Officer for you to work out a manageable payment plan that suits your needs and capabilities.
Once you’ve been contacted by a Revenue Officer, do NOT ignore them. This will only create problems and cause the Revenue Officer to try more aggressive tactics. A Revenue Officer will be more likely to show up on your doorstep, talk to your neighbors, obtain your cell phone records, talk to your business associates, come to your business to speak with you in person, and call you directly! Revenue Officers act like private investigators for the IRS and gather facts about your activities, whereabouts, family members, etc. in an effort to learn more about your lifestyle and what you do with your money. Don’t fight them alone, let us protect you and your rights! Call us at 844-841-9857 to schedule your free consultation, or fill out the Contact Us form below.
