IRS Revenue Officer: Why You Need an Attorney
A Revenue Officer is the IRS's field enforcer. Once one is assigned to your case, the rules change.
Revenue Officers are IRS employees who handle cases in person. They visit your home and business, talk to your employees and neighbors, and have authority to seize assets, file liens, and shut down businesses. Most taxpayers have never encountered one because the IRS handles most cases through automated notices and phone calls.
When an RO shows up, it means the IRS has decided your case needs personal attention. The stakes are higher. The timeline is compressed. And the RO has enforcement powers that automated collections doesn't.
What an Attorney Does
An attorney files a Power of Attorney immediately. From that point, the RO communicates through your attorney. No more surprise visits. No more pressure conversations. The negotiation happens professionally, on a defined timeline, with legal protections in place.
If a Revenue Officer has contacted you, call me today. Do not engage with the RO without representation.
