If an IRS Agent calls or contacts you: After writing down their full name and ID... ask them if they are a "Revenue Agent" or a "Special Agent". [The agents are required to identify themselves] Proceed with extreme caution if it's a "Special Agent". They are assigned to suspected fraud cases. Call your lawyer at once.
