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.
got a call from them saying i had tax fraud and had to pay today or they would send police to my house and be arrested and spend up to 6 months in jail while the IRS reviews my account. i got the same female voice mail and when i called back i got some one asking my name and to verify my address. I complied with his request, but that is where i stopped. they said i had an audit done on my taxes and they found a mistake from 2010. i laughed and said then its the fault of the company that filed for me because i have a signed statement that it was certified and they were responsible for any mistakes. that and i know the IRS would not come after me with jail time for $3000 they would have just took it out of my taxes the following year. i hope by confirming my address and phone number they can not mess with anything else. time to keep a close eye on all my accounts. good luck catching these idiots. good luck everyone.
Scammer claims to be calling from the IRS and that if I don't pay they will send the police. LMAO over this. I live in Canada and have never worked in the US.
A male with an Indian (India) accent called and said that he was from the U.S. Treasury Department with the Legal or Illegal division. I wasn't sure I understood correctly and asked if he said Legal or Illegal department. His response was "Well what do you think?" I hung up because of his rudeness.
My father just received the same call threatening him that the authorities would be at his house in the morning because he owed taxes and wanted him to do a money gram for $4800. Almost had it but my father called me first thank goodness!
