For years now, the IRS has been assuring people that the organization will never call you to demand payment. However, new developments in how the IRS is collecting some debt could cause some confusion.

The IRS is going to start using collection agencies to call people who owe back taxes.

Some are concerned because scammers often try to get money out of victims by telling them they are calling from the IRS to collect debt.

According to the IRS, four different private agencies will be calling people who owe back taxes and direct them pay online at the IRS.gov website.

Payment will not be requested by wire transfer or prepaid debit card. These forms of payment are often used by cammers.

The IRS reports that anyone who will get a call will be first notified by mail that the taxes have been turned over to a collection agent.
