3 Common Questions About IRS Revenue Officers
Who are they?
| Internal Revenue Service (IRS) revenue officers (a/k/a ROs) are the elite members of the IRS collection force. There are approximately 6,000 revenue officers operating nationwide. Each is assigned to a particular field group of 10-12 revenue officers, managed by a Group Manager, and assigned a specific geographic area. The IRS grants revenue officers absolute collection authority. This means they have the ability to send notices, make phone calls, make at-home or at-work visits, issue summons (i.e. mandatory, at IRS office meeting), issue levies (i.e. on wages, income, or bank accounts), issue liens, seize accounts receivable, initiate seizure of valuable property, etc. On the other hand, the revenue officer is given wide latitude to resolve tax liabilities by entering payment plans (i.e. Installment Agreements), placing clients into a protected status (i.e. Currently Not Collectible status), or granting extensions to full pay. |
