I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government. 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 as related to ordinary tax disputes. Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime. 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.

received a calling this morning saying they were the irs and I failed to file my taxes for 2009 thru 2014 and I owed 5000 on my taxes, a arrest warrant was filed for my arrest, and my DL has been revoked. this is a scam.
message left about lawsuit, called back talked to Officer John Smith badge #RS3202 said recorded line and for me not to interrupt. Said I owed 7900 from misfigures on my 2009-2014 taxes and there was a 75000 penalty and interest. That there is a warrant out from my arrest and if I didn't pay and hung up I would be arrested 45mins after termination of call. That they have been trying to contact me regarding this debt and it was a recorded line and that I was running from taxes but if I paid them at least half they would know I wasn't trying to run from the IRS.
