IRS will never contact you by phone, email or in person without contacting you by letter first. If you are contacted by an individual(s) claiming to be from the IRS, DO NOT give out any information, let them in your home or step outside if you are asked to do so. Ask for Identification and inform the individual(s) that you will contact your tax professional in order to resolve the situation.
