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.

This sounds like a typical scammer trying to scam you out of money, usually located in a country outside of US law enforcement. See the IRS's official youtube video on such scams:

Indeed, the call sounds like it's from an old script that has been used for years.
Had a message to call back or have an attorney call, saying that if I didn't call back, "Good luck to you." I called and an Indian man answered, telling me he was from a division of the Internal Revenue Services. He said there was a tax error for 3 years and my name was suspect. He was very hard to understand. I told him I would pay nothing until seeing something in writing. He said if I did not, someone from the IRS and a local police officer would come to my door and arrest me. I yelled to defend myself and he yelled back. I asked to speak to someone in charge, and he refused. He finally connected me to another Indian man. I demanded to speak to a native English speaker, telling him that it was illegal to refuse me that right. I told him I would report him to the police. He told me to wait, and he then hung up on me. When I attempted to call back, he had my number blocked. I reported him to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
