What to capture before the call
- Revenue Officer name, phone number, and office.
- Any deadlines or appointment dates.
- What forms, financials, or returns were requested.
- Whether returns are missing.
- Whether there is a bank levy, wage levy, lien, or business account risk.
- Whether the taxpayer has already spoken to the RO.
This is not a place for casual promises. Do not promise a settlement, delay, levy release, or payment amount before a qualified professional reviews the facts and authorizations.
