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.
i just got a call from sean andrews department of legal affairs, who is verbally notifing me of a verbal conflict.. i haven't had a conflict nor do i know anyone in NYC. crazy the heck if i am gonna call back he could barely speak english.
Call from 347-408-0225. Identified self as Mike Hall with the Dept. of Legal Affairs concerning an enforcement action. Ya, right! And I've got a bridge in Brooklyn that I'll sell you. Get an answering machine or use voice mail to screen all your calls. Ninety plus percent of valid legal or enforcement action is either in-person or by registered correspondence.
Call from Mike from the Department of legal affairs. Wanting to help me with a legal issue I know I don't have. Not going to even think about calling back. I don't speak his primary language anyhow.
Just had the call also Jeff Palmers Dept. of Legal Affairs saying I owe 4000 in taxes from 2012 and will issue a warrant out for my arrest if I don't pay now. They called my parents first and saying that letters been sent. I got nothing. While on the phone the local police were calling me and they said don't answer them. If you hang up with me the warrant will be issued and face up to 6 months in jail.
They were good though. But the IRS will send by mail and to your actual address.
