My experience with the IRS is different. I have received letters from the IRS, but never a registered letter. Always, a regular first class letter. Also, I have called them back and they did discuss my taxes on the phone. It is true though that I don't think they will call you first, and they will not do business by email. They always send you a letter which will have an address, a phone number, and a FAX number to contact them to resolve the issue. And, you can resolve tax issues with the IRS on the phone.
