Then you should know this is in fact a number that comes up on call ID when IRS from anywhere in the Memphis region calls.

This is an IRS number. I'm a CPA and an agent just contacted me using this number to discuss a matter my client has before the Service. While I can't tell you if you received a "spoofed" call showing this number I can tell you with certainty the agent I spoke with was an employee of the IRS.

This is the IRS. I have been dealing with the Advocates Office of the IRS to fix a return and this is the number that shows on caller ID. She gives a local number to call her back with.Dear 800notes.com, Please list "Legitimate number" in your pull down menu of Call type:

IRS representative contacting me about the status of my case.

This is a legit IRS outgoing number. I am a revenue agent. The number may be spoofed. Only until very recently did the IRM (internal revenue manual) change to not allow cold calls for initial contact. Up until late last year we were to call and follow up with a letter. Now we send a letter first.Use common sense, it may be legitimate. We never ask for payment over the phone or threaten arrest.

This NUMBER is legitimate. Most outgoing IRS calls are funneled through this number. The CALLER may or may not be legitimate. Scammers can spoof ANY number. Even yours. It doesn't make your number any less legit.This number should appear only when 1) You recently contacted the IRS either by mail or by phone, or 2) The IRS recently mailed you a notice of any kind, or 3) You work for the IRS.If none of the above applies to you, it's a scam. If one does apply to you, it MIGHT be a scam. If you're unsure, get the caller's name, their badge number (numeric only) and their SEID (5 character alphanumeric). Hang up and call the IRS's main number at 800-829-1040. (Google it or go to irs.gov to confirm the number.) Give them the data and ask if it matches. If it does, ask what to do next. They get thousands of "Was that call a scam?" questions. If the caller was legit, they will know how to assure you of this.

This is a legitimate IRS number. As bored correctly stated above, it should only appear if 1) you recently contacted the IRS either by mail or by phone, or 2) the IRS recently mailed you a notice of any kind, or 3) you work for the IRS.That being said, if you don't trust that it's legit, just call them back at the IRS toll-free number. Or, wait about a week or so and they'll mail you.

A few other tips:The IRS does not demand payment over the phone. They'll provide payment options, and provide a separate number if you do choose to pay by phone, but the representative that calls you cannot take payment.They do not threaten arrest. By the time they start taking out liens and garnishments, you will have gotten plenty of warning by mail. If arrest is necessary, there's an entirely different government division that handles that, not the IRS.The representative will give their last name, not first. They will also provide a badge number.Last but not least, I want to repeat, if you don't trust that it's legit, hang up and call them back at the toll-free number (or the number included on any letters you've received).

Bull crap it is the IRS. IRS does not call you. they go through the postal service with a confirmation of signed delivery.

No They do not. It depends on what part of country you live. ie Atlanta, Kansas, Pennsylvania, and California are where the offices are.
