Protecting Yourself from Tax Scams
Unfortunately, tax season brings an increase in scam attempts. Here’s how to stay safe:
How the IRS Actually Operates:
✓ The IRS sends first contact through regular mail (USPS). You can verify legitimate notices by searching for them on IRS.gov.
✓ In rare cases, the IRS may call to arrange a meeting or conduct an in-person visit (typically after sending a letter).
✓ IRS agents carry official identification with their photo and serial number.
Red Flags That Signal a Scam:
✗ Threats to call law enforcement
✗ Requests for payment via gift cards or prepaid debit cards
✗ Contact or payment requests through social media
✗ Pre-recorded voicemails (robocalls)
Common Tax Season Scams:
Be especially wary of anyone offering to “help” set up an online account on the IRS website. Scammers use this tactic to steal personal information and commit identity theft.
