Should you be concerned about an IRS Revenue Officer interview? If you have received notice of an “IRS Revenue Officer Interview” take heed – you are heading into a period of great potential risk, and you should be represented by an experienced and proven tax attorney. An IRS Revenue Officer is, in effect, a tax collector for the IRS. They are charged with personally communicating with the taxpayer or their representative to gather information surrounding a specific portion of an identified tax return.
One of the reasons you should be concerned about an IRS Revenue Officer interview is they have great power. IRS Revenue Officers have the legal authority to levy your bank account(s), garnish your accounts or income, place liens against your property, and in extreme cases have the authority to seize assets.
The revenue officer will be investigating your return, and your ability to pay assessments and any back taxes owed. They are highly trained and skilled interviewers, and while the scope of their inquiry may be limited to one specific question on a single return, they are easily able to get well meaning taxpayers to provide information which allows them to expand the scope of their inquiry and assess a lot more payment.
