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.
Got some call from a man with an indian kind of accent, sort of indian/british combination. Said something like the following: Hi. this message is intended to contact you. My name is Steve Martin, and i'm calling regarding an enforcement action, executed by US Treasury intending receiver's attention. Ignoring this will be an intentional second attempt to avoid initial appearance before a Magistrate Judge or a Grand Jury for a federal criminal offense. My number is 404-382-0158. I'll repeat: 404-382-0158. (Caller ID) said Atlanta, GA) I'd like you to cooperate with us and help us to help you.
I received 2 phone calls from this number and ignored both of them. On the second call an east indian sounding guy who identified himself as Steve Martin demanded I call him back concerning an issue with the U.S. Treasury. It was worded the same as the above response
From T. Tasse. Obviously a phone scam. Both of these calls were received on the afternoon of March 5,2015.
Today, I received a voice message from the same tel#: 404-382-0158 saying he was from the U.S. Treasury. Calls like this happen regularly, maybe every three weeks or so. The prior crank caller said he was from Microsoft technical services. And the one before that said he was from the IRS.
