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.
Called my wife's phone and left a message saying the IRS if filing a lawsuit against her. I called them back and spoke with Agent Robert who spoke in a very heavy Indian accent. Sadly he did not want to speak with me and he hung up. Now they won't even answer my phone calls.
Got a call this morning from the same person above. Indian claiming to be the IRS and that a lawsuit was being filed against me. Said that I owed 7520.00 to the IRS and needed to pay or I would have to go to court in Washington. He said letters were sent but no one was home to sign for them. And that I had to pay or go to court. I told him that if a letter came from the IRS and no one was home that the post office would leave me a card with info on it to pick the letter up at the post office, he didn't know what to say and I hung up.
