Thousands of people have lost millions of dollars and their personal information to tax scams.
Scammers use the regular mail, telephone, or email to set up individuals, businesses, payroll and tax professionals.
The IRS doesn't initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages or social media channels to request personal or financial information.
Beware: IRS won’t text you asking for your bank account info so an Economic Impact Payment deposit can be made.
