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 phone call today from this number. I couldn't quite understand it, but it sounded like someone was suing me. I checked the 800notes.com site first, to see if there had been complaints on this number, and there sure were! So I called them back and told the guy who answered he was in a lot of trouble, and hung up. Then I emailed IRS about it; not sure if it will help, but I'm glad this site exists.
I received the same call today and they tried to say my taxes from 2010 to 2015 were audit ans i owe $2000 and i asked them why didn't the irs mail me a letter and they said they did.then i ask what address did they mail it to and they said an address i havent lived at in over 10 yrs ,then told me i need to update my address. Lol if it was the irs they would have the correct address.then she said she was sending the police to arrrest me and i asked her how was she going to do that when they didn't know my address..
Ya it happened to me to day I asked him several times to give more info and he was just and [***] and then demanded to speak to his manager and I got another [***] hole both Indian I believe but any way he said cops are on there way and just proceeded calling me a criminal and I said why was I never sent anything in the mail and he tried to say I had when infact I had not so I said okay ill go to the police station down the road and turn my self in and he said no that would be running i said how thats me turning myself in so I hung up and guess what no cop showed to pick me so
