Avoiding Tax Scams

2/13/2017

0 Comments

 
As tax season approaches, people need to be aware of the current IRS tax scams out there. Criminals are using email, social media, text messages to trick people into giving their personal information out. Some criminals are posing as HR officials asking for W-2 Information, so they can file and collect your refund. 

Don't become a victim of phishing. The IRS doesn't initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages or social media channels to request personal or financial information. Also, IRS does not threaten taxpayers with lawsuits, imprisonment or other enforcement action. 

You can keep up-to-date on what tax scams are currently affecting people by going to the official IRS Tax Scam Consumer Alert page (https://www.irs.gov/uac/tax-scams-consumer-alerts). There you can find information on current tax scams, what you can do if you think you're a victim of a tax scam, and additional information on tax fraud prevention.
