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.
.

Well written.  You're dead on with your explanation.  I just got a call from them and was going to make an entry here; however your explanation is perfect and no further comment is needed.  Well done.

The call was automated left on answering machine. I didn't answer. I know it's not for taxes as I am on disability don't make enough to file taxes even. Caller ID was from Bainbridge island,WA.

You'd think they would get a better speaker to do the scam.  It sounds like an outsourced boiler room scam.  Not a convincing one, at that.

I received a automated call from this number. The caller stated that this was my final warning and that I needed to contact them at another number to head off legal action about to taken against me by the IRS. This is not how the IRS conducts business and is obviously a scam. I went to the IRS.gov website and filed an on-line complaint through the TIGTA Complaints Unit. It takes about 5 minutes to do. Everyone who gets a call from these people should do the same!

The DNC isn't a call blocker and can not protect you from the illegal callers, extortion scammers, foreign country's and frauds. Criminals do not obey laws simply said.    They use spoofed numbers which make it hard to track them down.. it takes time to do this and many subpoenas for call records.  It also does not cover IRS, or Debt Collection. Those fall under FDCPA laws.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

The coller said she was with the IRS and clamis we owe them taxes in 2008 when I said I didn't work in 2008 they hung up. when i tried calling back this number and there was no answer.

I received a call being accused of and IRS lawsuit from 206-201-0742. THIS IS A SCAM YOU SHOULD IGNORE IT!!!

A voice mail was left on my cell phone stating i was being sued by the IRS.  When I returned the call 206 201-0742 the call did not go through.

They called my son and had him call me. I know this is a scam because the IRS wouldn't and doesn't contact your family looking for you, believe me they know how to find us.

Saying that calling from irs

The IRS is filing a lawsuit against me and sending out the Marshalls!  I apparently made a mistake on my taxes.  I told them -- how did you find me?  I don't even pay my taxes?  "Opps, I've said too much.  Now I'm going to have to send someone to track you down."  They hung up on me.

Got the same call this morning as the others posted here.  I knew it was false as the IRS does not contact you via phone but my certified mail.  Also this happened once before.

Called and said I was randomly selected by the government for $9,000

I asked the lady what the capital of the US was and she hung up. Haha

Saying saying that they are  the IRS Revenue in that I owe 2900 and and that there's going to be a rest warrant for me
