Does not look like PI, that has leaves of 3, and shiny.
I don't think that is poison ivy either. If you have an Extention office near you, you could take a sample of it (in a plastic bag) to have it identified.
Doesn't look like either to me.

But there are multiple varieties. Just to be safe, consult with a reputable local nursery or your local Ag Extension.
As to your plant ID I would suggest a personal consultation with your local Cooperative extension. These offices are manned by a wonderful team of master gardeners that know your local situation quite well. There's also email ( submit a photo) Q&A resources that have helped my concerns and questions many times. Consider googling up your local extensions office.

If you want to get rid of it, if you don't want it even if it isn't poison ivy or sumac, cut the plant within a few inches from the soil and use a paint brush to paint the poison on the cut end. Those plants are tenacious, so it may take a couple of tries.
NOT POISON IVY! It looks "too refined" to be that common weed! I grew up in the Illinois woods along the Mississippi River-- the poison ivy there didn't look at all like your plant. ALSO---- be careful of removing anything like poison ivy DO NOT BURN IT-- the smoke/air surrounding the fire can carry the "sap" particlues and get you INFECTEED by just looking at it! NOT a good thinkg to have ... have a large supply of calamine lotion in case you get infected!
That is most likely Nandina, a common shrub throughout the SouthEast.
