Educational Tax Tip: Dealing With IRS Private Collectors

Did you know the IRS can assign certain overdue tax debts to private collection agencies (PCAs)? If your case is transferred, you’ll first receive two letters—one from the IRS and one from the PCA—so you can verify the assignment is legitimate. These agencies can contact you to arrange payment, but they cannot take enforcement actions like levies or garnishments, and they will never demand payment via gift cards, wire transfers, or threats. All payments must still be made directly to the U.S. Treasury, not to the agency itself. Ignoring PCA outreach can escalate your case back to the IRS, increasing the risk of enforced collection.
