Question

I received an automated call stating they were from the IRS indicating there were 3 errors on my tax return and I will be taken into custody by the "cops". What?

That is a very common scam. The IRS does NOT call you. Do not respond or give out any information on the phone to anyone claiming to be from the IRS!

Yeah, a lot of people I know have gotten that call. They told my mother in law the police were coming to arrest her in a half hour.
