Well obviously, unless you are 14 year old who started their on company, you don't have tax problems. This is the IRS scam that is highly publicized and has been running for a long time. You should discuss this with your parents, obtain a call blocker or free call blocking app (with their permission), and you both should read the following (this should be a learning experience for you so that you can avoid future phone scams)
IRS Scam:
The IRS does not need to sue anyone. They also do not bother arresting people for a few thousand dollars. They don’t send the local police or Sheriff to arrest you. Everything they do is done either administratively or using Federal Agents. They don’t call you up and demand immediate payment. If you are going to be arrested, they don’t call you up to warn you. They only issue arrest warrants for people who are really bad actors and have tried to stick them for very large amounts of money, not a few hundred or thousand. Administratively, they send you first class letters delivered by the Post Office. Several of them. Ignore those, and they then send certified letters that you need to sign for. Again delivered by the Post Office. Ignore those and they simply freeze your bank accounts and anything else you own. If they can do that, then why would they bother with a court case that might take them years before they get in front of a judge? The IRS does not accept payment in Itunes Cards, Amazon gift cards, or any other type of payment other than cash, check, credit or debit card (from normal everyday citizens). Note that the IRS has been mandated by Congress to use private debt collectors. They are still obligated to send you letters prior to the calls from the debt collectors. The debt collectors are obligated to follow all FDCPA laws to collect funds and they are not allowed to ask you for immediate payment over the phone.
