Recently, my office received information about phone calls received statewide in which an individual claimed to be from the IRS and demanded payment on taxes owed. Please be aware – this phone call is a scam, and the IRS will NOT initiate first contact with you on the phone about taxes owed.

The IRS does not operate this way and will always send official correspondence through the mail to make its first contact with you. Read more
