The IRS doesn’t make phone calls.

The IRS calls people for all sorts of things – usually collection and examination matters. Revenue agents will cold call taxpayers to inform them that their tax return has been selected for audit. As for this situation, though, if you think this is a scam, call the IRS’ 1-800 number. They can tell you whether or not your return was rejected.
Besides, anyone calling from the IRS will already have your personal information and will not have to ASK for your information.

No. Do not believe them. Get their name, telephone number and their employee identification number. The IRS does not call about rejected returns, you are right they would send you a letter.
Every IRS employee is required to give you their employee number when they call someone. They are also, required to give you their managers telephone number if asked. If you have caller ID then write the telephone number down.
I would then contact the IRS criminal division. Visit http://www.irs.gov for the local telephone number for the Treasury Inspector General.

The I.R.S. does not call anyone.
All correspondence is done through snail mail.
Total scam.

Ignore the caller, IRS only mails letters and if an IRS employee does call you they do not leave voice mail, you will know if it is an actual IRS employee, but can’t tell you how because of too much scam going on, but you will know.
If you want to check on your tax return call 1-800-829-1040

Definitely a scam!!! There has been alot of scams regarding the IRS. It is actually stated on their website about the scams. IRS usually corresponds with mail, not by phone. Please go to the irs.gov website. Their website is updated daily.
