About Ivette Yost

I worked for the IRS as a GS 13 Sr. Revenue Officer (bilingual) and HQ Collection Policy analyst. I was assigned higher grade level cases, and became a management official for the Enforcement (ENF) Team, in charge of coordinating collection related studies nationwide helping implement new laws and regulations. I graduated with honors Summa Cum Laude with a Masters in Business Administration, a BS in Management Computer Information Systems and an AS in Logistics Management. As a former U.S. Veteran I served honorably in the USAF at Mountain Home, ID, as the database administrator of the Mobility Inventory Control and Accountability System (MICAS) for the 366th Fighter Readiness and Expeditionary Wing, reporting to the Air Combat Command during 911. I possess diverse and extensive knowledge in finance and management from past education and work experience, while also holding a Real Estate License since 2005. I was an expert technical advisor and IRM author for the IRS, participating in the clearance process, assessing the impact of new programs and practices, developed solutions, made presentations and provided guidance to area directors on legislative matters. I was a Certified Instructor who taught several cont ed classes, workshops, and national training sessions (eg, Fraud, TFRP Investigations, Employment Tax fraud, In Business Trust Fund (IBTF), Alter egos/nominees, “Civil Suit Narrative”, Financial Analysis, Train the Trainer, Completed Staff Work, Seizures, Offers in Compromise (OIC), Special Condition levies, Time Management, Taxpayer Rights (TBOR) and COVID Employer Tax Credits and Deferrals for Field Collection. As a Subject Matter Expert (SME) I worked high profile cases and prepared Exam and Criminal Investigation referrals. This allowed me to develop knowledge in financial analysis, tax evasion, underreporting income, commingling of funds, concealed assets, alter egos, nominees/transferees, pyramiding taxpayers, tax compliance, suits, seizures, fraud, etc. I completed several acting manager assignments, as a Group Revenue Officer manager, and IQA manager for analysts in the Mid States group with Collection Automation Support & Security (CASS) for HQ. I participated in a priority task force involving fraud helping minimize a large potential government loss. I participated in the RO Training Cadre (ROTC) program sharing my knowledge with other Revenue Officers in the area, and participated in a National task force redeveloping training material for newly hired ROs.
