Avoiding Seasonal tax scams

Every tax season gives rise to a variety of tax scams.  Some people have gotten e-mails from a non-IRS source saying they are under audit and need to fill out a questionnaire within 48 hours to avoid penalties and interest. Recipients are then asked for their Social Security number and bank account numbers.

The IRS doesn’t notify taxpayers of pending audits by way of e-mail, nor do they conduct e-mail audits, the story warned.

Another scam is fake IRS agents coming to your home to collect. IRS special agents, field auditors and collection officers all carry photo IDs and will normally contact you before they visit. But if you have questions, call the Treasury Inspector General’s Hotline at (800) 366-4484
