Tax Scams

The IRS has put out a bulletin warning taxpayers about the top two tax scams that you need to be aware of:

  • Beware of if you receive and email from the IRS it is a scam. The IRS does not send out emails for payment or refund. The best practice is not to open attachments, click on any links, or divulge any personal account information.
  • Beware of any verbiage that sounds like "We will prepare your income tax return without any documentation" or "No DOC Tax Preparation". The IRS does not allow this type of tax preparation.
