Why is the IRS asking me to pay them with iTunes gift cards? They called me saying they need $4000 in iTunes gift cards for tax?

Lousey troll attempt, try harder

Obviously they are NOT the IRS. It is a SCAM.

Trust me, it's a scam. The IRS would never do anything like that. Read the link from the IRS' website.

That isn't the IRS snowflake!

That is 100% PURE SCAM.
The IRS NEVER initiates contact by phone, and NEVER accepts payment by gift card.

Big scam. Ignore it.

Thanks for the chuckle! Good sense of humor!

The IRS does not ever, ever call you.

Whomever called is not the IRS. It is a scam.

The real IRS would not allow you to pay them with gift cards, even if you pleaded with them to let you.

The real IRS also doesn't call anyone to say that they need to pay.

Anyone who calls and says you need to pay with gift cards is not the IRS.

That's a scammer calling, not the IRS.
