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.

Received a call from the caller that he was with the IRS and wanted to know if I had a criminal attorney as I was being sued. This is not the first call so I decided to play along. I told him I did have a criminal attorney and that I would be glad to have him call him. He told me to give him his name and number and he would call him. I told him that was personal information and that I did not want to give that out to him. Just then I received a text on my cell phone and he could hear the sound of someone calling me and I told him Oh my attorney is calling me right now. I asked him for his name and number and that I would give it to him. He then started talking sooooooo vulgar using the F word and that he had an 8 inch c--- and want to know if I wanted to s--- it. He wanted to know if I wanted him to come over tonight and F---. He kept talking nasty and I finally had enough. I then asked him how he could sleep at night talking so vulgar and I advised him that his scam is all over the news and that he needed to get a real job. This is about the 3rd or 4th call from these people. This one had a very heavy accent and was disgusting
