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 called and said they were the IRS and had a lawsuit against me. They called from 347-305-7060 and said this was my last chance to get a hold of them. I did not call and will not.
I just got a recorded message saying the IRS has filed a lawsuit against me. The message said call back to this number 347-305-7060. It must be a scam as my taxes are in order.
I Received a call today from 347-305-7060. Recoreded voice said the IRS was suing me. However there was not a reference or claim number associated with this call. Looking on-line realized it was a scam. Apparently they have been doing this since January 2015. Over 3,000 of 29,000 complaints lost money because they were unaware how check numbers for scams. BE ON ALERT.
