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 on my cell phone with a voicemail left by an automated voice saying it was the IRS filing a lawsuit against me. I reported it to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration and to the Federal Trade Commission under government imposter scams. Hope that does something to get them shut down.
Called and left a message saying they were the IRS and that there was a lawsuit pending against me. Told me to call back immediately. When I did, the line was CONSTANTLY busy (called 5 or 6 times). SCAM!!

11-3-15 / 8:15 am::::: i received a phone call from 347-539-4090. A recorded female voice said i owe irs money, to call them back at 347-539-4090. It seemed as if they were leaving me a message on my voice mail to call them back, yet i answered the phone.
I have caller id and noted the name for that "mobile" number belongs to a tyreik johnson (saint albans, ny) if this helps, more power to you.
I received a call from this number this morning 11/3/15. They claim I owed tax payment of $800 from 2008 -2009 and needed to immediately pay. If I didn't make arrangements to pay before the end of the call. The would proceed with a lawsuit I asked if they had sent me any information regarding this claim. They responded yes and gave me weeks in September. I asked to speak with a supervisor, BTW, everyone had an Indian accent. I told them they didn't do enough of a background check and that this was fraud. I asked them to take me off their call list and they hung up.
