Phone Calls from the IRS

Some of my clients have received phone calls from someone saying they are from the IRS asking for information or money. Hang up. This is a scam. They are trying to scare you into giving them what they want by mentioning dire consequences like jail if you don't cooperate. The IRS will not ever initiate a phone call directly with taxpayers to ask for information. They send letters instead which you should send to me to handle for you.
