an IRS agent is a person that investigates any fraud or missed filling on your income tax returns.
In most cases the IRS will communicate with the tax payer and then the tax payer could seek the help of an enrolled agent, accountant, attorney, etc.
You are confusing an enrolled agent with an IRS employed tax agent. Enrolled agents are not employed by the IRS. Yes, IRS agents can personally visit and ask to verify tax related matters.
I have asked this question to a friend of mine who worked for the IRS as a Revenue Agent for 19 years. The answer is no. My friens told me that any IRS employee who owes after filing taxes are let go.
Code 1201 is an administrative code that means there is a delay in processing your return. While your return was selected, something triggered a desk audit, and is an IRS agent will review it. In most situations it causes one-two weeks of an additional processing time to get your refund. According to the IRS, 1201 is a "catch all" code when no other code applies. It was generated by the computer so if you call IRS - the agent might not know what exactly triggered the review. It may be random selection as well. This is not an error and not an audit - this is normal IRS process - the assigned IRS agent will review your return and in most situation it will be processed without any problem. I do not think that you need to worry at this moment - just wait couple weeks and see if the problem resolved.
Usually if you owe back taxes, IRS will send you a letter to notify you that you owe IRS money. However, if you are not sure, try to call IRS at 1-800-829-1040. Also you can go and visit an IRS local office (if they get one in your city.)

It refers to an enrolled agent for dealing with the Internal Revenue Service. From the IRS website: An enrolled agent is a person who has earned the privilege of representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service by either passing a three-part comprehensive IRS test covering individual and business tax returns, or through experience as a former IRS employee. Enrolled agent status is the highest credential the IRS awards. Individuals who obtain this elite status must adhere to ethical standards and complete 72 hours of continuing education courses every three years. Enrolled agents, like attorneys and certified public accountants (CPAs), have unlimited practice rights. This means they are unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and which IRS offices they can represent clients before
The IRS assigns reference codes, for example, for the status of refund problems. According to the Internal Revenue Manual, reference code 1201 means 'all other conditions not covered by a status code'. Upon being given this code by an inquiring taxpayer, the IRS agent is directed by the Manual to 'conduct account analysis'.
There really are no perquisites to becoming an enrolled agent. If you can pass a series of exams and a background check performed by the IRS, anyone can become an enrolled agent. You do not even need to be a U.S. citizen. First, you would register for a PTIN number with the IRS and purchase study materials to help you pass three exams on individuals, businesses, and representation. Each exam is 100 multiple choice questions and you have 3.5 hours to complete and pass the exam at a Prometric testing center. The exams are not easy so do not take them lightly. After passing the exams you would file form 23 with the IRS and pay a small fee.
You can reach out to the IRS directly by calling their toll-free customer service line. They can assist with a range of tax-related issues, answer questions, and provide guidance on next steps. It's best to have relevant documentation and details on hand when contacting them for a more efficient resolution.
