You can avoid falling for a tax scam. Know what to watch out for and how the IRS contacts you.
Tax scam warning signs
Scammers mislead you about tax refunds, credits and payments. They pressure you for personal, financial or employment information or money. IRS impersonators try to look like us.
Watch out for:
- A big payday – If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Bad tax advice on social media may convince you to lie on tax forms or mislead you about credits you can claim.
- Demands or threats – Impersonators want you to pay “now or else.” They threaten arrest or deportation. They don’t let you question or appeal the amount of tax you owe.
- Website links – Odd or misspelled web links can take you to harmful sites instead of IRS.gov.
