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.
They scared the crap out of me this morning. The heavy accent idiots who called me claimed I misled the IRS, had mistakes on my taxes & it's my fault for using the tax Offc I did. They sd I wasn't allowed to hang up the ph, I was directed to go to Money Gram & transfer $6800 to the info. they'd give me when I got to Money Gram store. Again I wasn't suppose to hang up at all. If I want this to be a public case then fine, don't pay over the ph & the FBI will arrest me in 20mins. (Total jerks!) There's more to it but they're total creeps!! They're heavy non-American accents & forceful ways say it all!
