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.

206-535-1224 belongs to another IRS scammer who leaves an automated pre-recorded message claiming to be from the IRS and try and get suckers to pay thousands of dollars. Laughable at most- but as the saying goes "A sucker is born everyone minute."
Recorded message saying IRS is filing a lawsuit against me and I should try to call a number they gave. Wish these low life scumbags would get a real job and quit with the phone scams.
Caller with a very heavy India accent tried to give some codes relating to "my case" but had to repeat codes quite a few times but never explained what the codes were for. He did know my name and address and that is disturbing. After a few tries giving me these "case codes" the line went dead.
Same thing for me as above...I am filing a complaint with the police as this individual or center is misrepresenting themselves as a government body (the Internal Revenue Service).
