The IRS never starts a collection via a phone call; they always send snail mail first! In 40 years of paying taxes I have been contacted by the IRS only twice. In one case I entered a number in the wrong field but it did not affect the outcome of the return. The other time someone put in a wrong SS number and it turned up to me. In both cases I sent a letter to the IRS (with a copy of their letter) explaining the situation, and it was resolved.
