I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. 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. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. 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 had a unknown number call me and said them at they were with the irtheft and had a number with it,and said an irtheft agent is waiting to talk to me is it scam??
I was contacted at 12:32PM Eastern Time being warned that my property is being monitored and that if I don't call back I would have it seized. I am a high school student without a cent to my name as of right now, so I don't see how this could be possible.
It isn't. Just a robo-fisher, looking for the gullible. I get those once or twice a month. Never respond to them. IRS does NOT initiate contacts by phone.
second time I've gotten this call, I called the number back and a foreigner answers, he kept saying he was the irs...... We have no issues with irs, nor own any property. Name on caller id is David Harris.
