Being Assigned A Revenue Officer To Your Case
IRS Agent Assignments
Are You Facing IRS Collection Actions?
Facing IRS collection actions can be a daunting experience. At Pro Tax Solvers, we understand the importance of addressing your tax matters with precision, urgency, and professionalism. One significant indicator that the IRS is taking your case seriously is when they assign a Revenue Officer to handle it personally.
Why Might You Be Assigned a Revenue Officer?
Here are the key reasons why the IRS may assign a Revenue Officer to your case:
Payroll Tax Liabilities
Revenue Officers are commonly assigned to cases involving payroll tax liabilities. This is because the IRS has a limited window to assign someone personally for payroll tax debts. Even if your business closes, the IRS wants to ensure there’s still someone accountable for the debt.
Repeated Failure to File Tax Returns
If you’ve not filed tax returns for an extended period, the IRS may escalate your case by assigning a Revenue Officer.
Owing Over $250,000
While the threshold used to be $100,000, cases owing more than $250,000 are often assigned Revenue Officers. The higher debt amount makes the assignment a more worthwhile endeavor for the IRS.
Failed Collection Attempts by ACS
The IRS has an automated system called the Automated Collections System (ACS). If ACS has been unsuccessful in collecting your taxes through automated means, your case may be escalated, and a Revenue Officer could be assigned.
How Does Handling Differ with a Revenue Officer?
Working with a Revenue Officer differs from dealing with ACS or regular IRS agents in several ways:
More Detailed Financial Information
Revenue Officers typically require a more comprehensive review of your financial situation, often requesting IRS Form 433-A.
Less Likely to Grant Hardship Status
Revenue Officers may be less inclined to quickly grant hardship status, also known as Currently Non-Collectible status, as ACS might.
What Should You Do If Assigned a Revenue Officer?
Your best course of action when facing a Revenue Officer assignment is to seek professional assistance. Pro Tax Solvers has a team of qualified tax debt Enrolled Agents, CPAs, and Attorneys ready to handle your case with expertise, diligence, and professionalism.
If professional representation is not an option for you, we recommend exploring our tax help guide for insights on how to resolve your case independently. In some situations, an Offer In Compromise (OIC) may be a viable solution. If you qualify for an OIC and have filed your tax returns, many Revenue Officers may accept the OIC directly, streamlining the resolution process.
