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 or Itunes cards or similar 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.
Recording saying that they were the IRS and gave a call back number to fast for me to write down. The recording also said that there was a problem with my last years taxes. Thing is I haven't done them yet?
I just got a call too, Recording said the same thing. "Said there was a problem with my last years taxes". I called the # back and ask the guy for his IRS ID#. He gave me a bogus ID#. When I ask for something in writing, he said we didn't call you. This is a scam, the IRS will send something in writing, not call you direct. Then you'll have a deadline to dispute.
Received a call, they claimed to be IRS, said there was an issue with my taxes and provided 623-694-0683 as call back number. IRS does not call they write.
got a call from this number stating my last wears taxes had an error on them .... SCAM... and the recording sounded creepy 3236940683 Los Angeles 4/14/17
