When you have an outstanding tax debt, the IRS begins to make efforts to collect it. Most times, they do this through the Automated Collection System which sends a series of letters to you.
When this begins to happen, you can almost take it as an automatic warning that the IRS will soon take levy actions against you. Another common way the IRS pursues debts is by assigning a Revenue Officer to delinquent taxpayers.
If a Revenue Officer has been assigned to you, then you should know that they have just one job; to purse your outstanding tax debt and get you to pay it.
The moment a revenue officer gets assigned to your file, you must tread cautiously. At this point, you need to be as careful as possible, especially in your communication with the officer. One excellent way to deal with the situation is to get the help of a tax professional, as you need to be well represented in such a situation.
Revenue officer representation is very crucial because dealing with revenue officers can be a tricky experience. Revenue officers have the right to contact taxpayers about underpayment, garnish a tax defaulter’s wages, seize their assets, summon them to meetings, and many other things. Enlisting the help of a tax professional will help you gain better control of the situation.
Who is a revenue officer?
A Revenue Officer is a person assigned to recover revenue on behalf of the government. Revenue officers working for the IRS have the responsibility of pursuing delinquent taxes and overdue tax returns. It is the job of these revenue officers to set up meetings or conduct interviews to communicate with tax defaulters, design payment plans for people with tax arrears, garnish wages and seize assets of defaulters in order to recover the delinquent tax for the government.
A revenue officer is required to contact the taxpayer in person, at least for the first contact, so don’t be surprised if a revenue officer knocks on your door right now.
