Tax collection agencies actually part of the gov't?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the IRS wasn't really a gov't agency, but a private collection agency for the federal reserve. Is something like this true of state tax collection agencies? If so, this section of the FDCPA could come in handy:





Section 807(9) prohibits the use of any document designed to falsely imply that it issued from a state or federal source, or "which creates a false impression as to its source, authorization, or approval."



1. Relation to other sections. Most of the violations of this section involve simulated legal process, which is more specifically covered by section 807(13). However, this subsection is broader in that it also covers documents that fraudulently appear to be official government documents, or otherwise mislead the recipient as to their authorship.
