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 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.
I received a telephone call from 410-501-5902. The message stated that this is a call from the IRS, that the IRS is sueing me and I must call back immediately. I called the number and I was told that they were the IRS and there was a warrant out for my arrest because I had committed tax fraud. They also said that the IRS did an audit on my taxes between 2008 and 2013 and that it was found that I owed over $5000 in back taxes. I told them to contact H & R block. they are the ones that did and have been doing my taxes for at least 15yrs. He said if I didn't pay the back taxes in 45 minutes that all the paperwork would be sent to the local police dept. and that I would be arrested by the end of the day. (I am still waiting for the to show up) This is the second call I have received from them.
I got the same call now about 5 times. I looked up the number which is 410-501-5902 which stated that they were the IRS and I was being sued. I called them and was just going to play along, but I got a recording. I left a message for them to call me back. Can't wait to hear what they have to say. I will be mailing them an invisible check!
