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 has no powers of arrest. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. IRS does not cold call anyone and ask for money. 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 voice message from 730-843-0000 saying they were the IRS and going to file charges against me for not paying taxes. To avoid charges call 360-861-4613 to settle up. This is an obvious scam. People need to listen not to even answer these calls. Too many scams going on and the government cannot stop these. Ignore them!
I received a phone call from a "computer recorded voice" on 04/07/2015 that said I needed to call 360-861-4613 as the IRS has filed a lawsuit against me. They said they were calling about a case file which is not very smart because any reputable business would tell you a case file number and besides the IRS never calls you. They always go through the mail. I received a second phone call within an hour that said the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me for tax fraud. This call was not as clear and the number was hard to understand. The last seven digits of the number I was supposed to call is 861-4117.
The Sheriff's office in McHenry County IL is reporting that this IS a scam. They have had a number of residents report phone calls from 360-861-4613. They are reporting that a man claiming to go by the name of Alin Brown is calling their residents and claiming that they owe back taxes, and he offers several threats to the person being called if they are not willing to make payment.
