Primary Job Duties

Revenue Officers are trained in both tax law and techniques necessary for the collection of delinquent taxes and overdue tax returns. Duties include conducting research, interviews, investigations and analysis of financial information for assigned cases, often at the taxpayer's home or business. Each officer will be assigned an inventory of cases, which provides the opportunity for work on varied situations with different types of taxpayers. Revenue Officers also counsel taxpayers on their obligations, determine how they can best resolve their delinquencies, and ensure their rights are protected. More details are available at www.jobs.irs.gov/home.html.

The Small Business/Self Employed Division of the IRS, which serves about seven million small business as well as corporations and partnerships with assets of $10 million or less, will employ the Revenue Officers.
