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. 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.

Received a voice mail saying the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me.. when I called the number back a foreign speaking person goes on to tell me, that the IRS is suing me and that Federal Marshals are coming to arrest me if I don't settle this now. When I asked for paperwork they said it was sent to me.. when I asked what address, it was one I lived at 2 1/2 years ago. I told him I was hanging up and calling the IRS.. He became very rude with me. so I just hung up.... It's just a scam..
This caller is NOT from IRS & DO NOT GIVE ANY INFO... stupid no good sob's called me twice after I told them ( yes, I called back ) I was reporting them to FTC, FCC & FBI
They called and the message said the IRS is filling a law suite against me. When I called back, the person answered ,"Hello?" and I asked who he was, after some hesitation he said that he is a FBI.
The scammers might not know the difference between IRS and FBI.
He sounded like he was from India).
