(315)207-4907 (8/16/16) received call and message indicated that the caller (robo caller) was informing me that a Federal Magistrate issued a warrant for my arrest due to a law suit for unpaid taxes. This is not how the IRS operates. First you receive a letter with the details and case number included. You have up to 90 days to respond to the inquiry with either a payment or your objection (in writing) to the demand for payment. If you are not able to make full payment the IRS will allow you to file a payment plan, prior to the 90 day period. The best action to take if you actually receive a formal letter is contact the IRS at their 800 number for individual returns: (800) 829-1040 or their business line (800) 829-4933.
However, the IRS would rather you attempt to resolve your issue by visiting their website and file payment plans and get answers to other questions on line. The IRS had a major reduction in staff last year (10/2015) and they don't make calls unless the outstanding tax liability is over $ 10,000 and the person has not started some sort of counter action. You will always be contacted by mail first.
