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.

Same as above. Just remember...any federal government agency ever, ever, I mean ever calls you they will address you as Mr., Mrs. or Ms. They will never threaten you. You will be asked to make an appointment or the agency will even send an official letter to call a specific person. No threatening calls like this one.
Law enforcement action being taken against me. accent of male voice..India or Jamaica..... must call back or my legal attorney call..... "Do take this lightly"... Don't think his English understanding of what he said is what he really meant to say..... 4/13/16 scammer for sure!!! Beware.....
This number that called me, told me that I messed up on filing my taxes in 2013 and that the IRS was after me and that I needed to hire a lawyer. He was very rude and gave me little information.
Pretty hard to provide information for something that doesn't exist and remember most scammers are only prepared for the present. Consider hanging up as soon as you hear 'IRS' mentioned in random calls if you opt to answer at all. Prepare for your phone's future by presently ignoring unknown calls completely.
