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.
Has called twice leaving a message saying a tax fraud claim has been put against me and I need to call back to avoid getting arrested. I didn't return the call. I assume it's a scam.
I had the same call. A computer voice telling me that a fraud claim has been filed against me and that I should call ASAP or I might get arrested. I also didn't return the call, checked here instead.
This nut called and stated that I owed some back taxes and would be arrested. another scam! The person is a foreigner. pray for the this person and his silliness.
This is a SCAM call. I called for a scared little lady who was contacted and threatened by them. They started calling me profanities and related my ancestry to me. 213-674-4949.....SCAM. Block the number or hang up. Do NOT give them money. The IRS does not threaten to come get you. The police do not do that either. Do not give them a credit card number or a bank account number. Hang up.
