It's a scam. Please review.
The IRS will not call you. They send letters via US Mail. The IRS won't ask you to pay in i-Tunes cards. The IRS will not wish you "good luck as the situation unfolds". Trust yourself and your instincts - do not let a bully intimidate you with threats that are nothing but hot air. This is a SCAM. Do not answer calls you don't know and never call them back.

NOTE: Private Debt Collection. The Internal Revenue Service plans to begin private collection of certain overdue federal tax debts in April 2017 and has selected four contractors to implement the new program. These private collection agencies will work on accounts where taxpayers owe money, but the IRS is no longer actively working them. Several factors contribute to the IRS assigning these accounts to private collection agencies, including older, overdue tax accounts or lack of resources preventing the IRS from working the cases.
The IRS will give taxpayers and their representative written notice that the accounts are being transferred to the private collection agencies. The agencies will send a second, separate letter to the taxpayer and their representative confirming this transfer.
