The IRS NEVER calls. If they wanted to contact you it would be in the form of an official letter with an official letterhead and official envelope. Let this type of call go to your answer machine.

I unfortunately KNOW what I am talking about. We got a letter from the IRS and either did not open it, or whatever. So sometime later we received an official letter from them telling us we owed them money and they were putting interest on unless it was paid ASAP. We called the number they gave us and got a full and complete explanation, and we did indeed owe them money!
