I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government. Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter. But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters. 90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively. IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes. IRS has no powers of arrest as related to ordinary tax disputes. Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime. IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of money. IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone. IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case. No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments. Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement. All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals. All contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

I got a voice message. So i called it back and they said it was the IRS filing a law suit against me for me taxes from 2013/14. I told them it was bs and to take me # off their list. And if the IRS was to take me to court they would send a letter. The person on the other end had such a deep accent I couldn't understand most of what he said.
Just got a voicemail from this number. They did not reference the IRS or any other entity, just said "to get more information on this case file call 206-317-1467. As from the post below, perhaps they realized mentioning the IRS was not working so they now reference .. nothing.. SCAM
The :"IRS" just called, same as the others; Last attempt to contact me before filing a lawsuit! Thanks to all the other posts, now I am not worried, just mad they have the nerve to do this!
