Received Form 9297 Summary of Taxpayer Contact by a Revenue Officer and What do I do?

If you received Form 9297 Summary of Taxpayer Contact, then the IRS is planning on taking action and looking to collect financial information. For most taxpayers, this is their initial contact with the revenue officer assigned to their case. This notice means that your account has been assigned to your case and will want you to file your back taxes, possibly meet in person, issue federal tax liens, initiate a wage garnishment, levy assets, file liens, or take other measures on behalf of the IRS to collect the taxes owed.

If you have not filed, take measures to seek help as we can help you file your taxes for several years, file a power of attorney to represent your interest, and negotiate with the agent to ensure you do not overpay in taxes as they may file a substitute tax return which never works in your favor and you will over pay.

At Gamarra, CPA Inc, we protect your rights to object if a revenue officer makes a decision that you don’t agree with. If you disagree with a proposed collection action, you can request a managerial review. If you disagree with the manager, you have the right to appeal.

During the collection appeals process, you get to explain why you disagree with the IRS’s actions. You also get to propose alternatives. To give you a simple example, imagine a revenue officer sending you a notice of intent to levy your wages. You appeal the wage garnishment, and during the appeals hearing, you request to make monthly payments on the tax debt.
