The Benefit of Having a Former IRS Revenue Officer at Our Tax Law Firm 

When you have unpaid taxes or are facing an IRS enforcement action, you should get in touch with us at Pontius Tax Law. You will have the advantage of representation by a skilled and experienced tax lawyer and also reap the benefit of having former IRS Revenue Officers at our tax law firm.

What Are the Duties of an IRS Revenue Officer?

An IRS Revenue Officer works face-to-face with businesses and individuals with tax debt or unfiled tax returns. Revenue Officers review filings and financial data to determine the next steps to be taken on a case, and deal directly with taxpayers and their representatives to find solutions to thorny tax problems.

Our former Revenue Officers have substantial experience with a variety of tax controversies. Their past dealings with taxpayers and their representatives gives them a deep understanding of how serious tax issues can develop even when the taxpayer has no intent to defraud or evade taxes.

They understand how IRS procedures work according to the published criteria, but they also know how those procedures work “in practice.” A Revenue Officer who has resolved issues with thousands of taxpayers on behalf of the IRS brings a wealth of strategic knowledge, now, when working on the taxpayer’s behalf.

A Revenue Officer’s Input Allows More Efficient Resolutions

A Revenue Officer must  evaluate solutions to tax issues  and see them through until the matter is resolved, which may involve evaluating the reality of setting up installment agreements or offers in compromise.

This prior “inside” experience is invaluable in a law practice like ours that focuses on tax controversies. Our former Revenue Officers can utilize their intimate first-hand knowledge of IRS systems and databases, as well as procedures and policies that they have used from the other side of the table to develop an effective strategy to resolve your tax debt in the best way possible.

They can use their perspective to evaluate whether a proposed resolution is likely to meet with IRS approval. This guidance allows you to work more efficiently together and craft a strategy that will be acceptable to both you and to the IRS. When working with the IRS they can also use this same inside knowledge to “speak the language” and build a rapport with the IRS representative.

When the IRS says you owe more than $50,000 in taxes, don’t try to handle the matter yourself. Instead, work with our Enrolled Agents and former IRS Revenue Officers to resolve the matter. We understand the complexities of tax resolution and will use our first-hand experience to help you resolve the matter in a way that reduces your risk of exposure.
