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 recieved the same call, same # saying that a law suite is being filed against me, i found the messege to be odd since I'm a disabled Veteran and my imcome is non taxable, so i called them and questioned the " Pakistani" accent on the other end and was immediately disconnected.
Slightly different message. Claims name is David Gray. Claims there is an enforcement action against me by the US Treasury and ignoring is an intentional ... something or other. Basically, they say it's the second attempt, don't ignore, or I'll be in hot water.
Unlikely as summons have to be delivered through mail or in person. Visiting here helps prove that.
Said they were Steve Martin, and I was in big trouble with the U.S. Treasury and not to ignore this call. The same call went to me place of business last week.
