And a phishing they will go. It goes to my spam folder and gets deleted without being opened. Don't want to catch a virus. The IRS doesn't correspond by unsolicited email.

Yes, I have gotten "this" in my SPAM folder and have never opened it, several times now. The tipoff, is that they refer to my tax form which they have received. Guess what? I have not yet sent in my tax form, so they couldn't possibly have received it. I don't owe any taxes so I usually procrastinate sending in the form, since there there is no penalty if you don't owe any taxes. Besides, the IRS has no way of knowing my email address. So just delete it, or you could send it to the IRS abuse site, but I am sure that many have already done so. if you open the attachment they will probably add a Trojan to your computer for whatever nefarious reason. Isn't life complicated in this computer age?
