What? IRS Visit! Why?

None of us truly want a visit from IRS but they do occur from time to time.

The purpose of the visit is to do:

• An Audit,
• Collections,
• OR Criminal Investigations. 

The normal practice before an IRS agent appears at your front door is for them to send you a letter via the US Post Office. However, there are those cases where they do call and just show up at the address you have provided. This can occur if there is an overdue tax bill, delinquent tax return, or there was no employment tax deposit.

So, an agent appears at your door. How do you know if the person is legit?

They should identify themselves but in the event they do not you can request to see their identification.

IRS Identification

• U.S. government identification card
• An IRS-issued credential, known as a pocket commission.
