Is the IRS really calling me about a balance due?

Posted on July 18, 2017September 21, 2017 by S. Davis

Contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration to report a phone scam. Use their “IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting” web page. You can also call 800-366-4484.


In the recent months I’ve received several inquiries regarding the IRS ‘calling’ and threatening taxpayers.

These calls are not restricted to any specific type of taxpayer.

You will typically receive something in writing via postal mail (there are some exceptions).   If you do owe the IRS be sure to contact them directly, ignoring a notice will not make them go away.  See our blog on options for paying the IRS.

Their main number is 1.800.829.1040.

The IRS is aware of the increased scam calls.  Select here to go directly to IRS.gov to learn more.

Congress authorized a new program which allows private debt collectors to collect outstanding past due ‘inactive’ account balances.

Select here to learn more about taxes collected by the private debt collection agencies.

If you or someone you know needs representation……you may contact our office at 508.203.1676.
