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 have been receiving calls from this number for over 2years and repeatedly asked them to cease and desist. For the first 1.5 yrs. a man, with a heavy accent (sounded east Indian) has repeatedly called my work number and asked for some fictional person that has never worked here. In the last few months I have started to receive a recorded, robotic message from a women saying it is the IRS and not to ignore the call. Today, fed up yet again, I called back and was greeted by the man who had been calling for the first 1.5 years. I asked him if he knew my name - he asked for my phone number and said he was trying to reach "Ann" - I told him no such person existed and to stop calling me at which point he hung up.
