SCAM

3/17/2017

The IRS has issued warnings about a phishing scam involving payroll and human resource departments. The scam encompasses school districts and nonprofit entities as well as other employers.

The scam includes emails requesting sensitive employee information such as social security numbers (SSN), and even copies of Forms W-2. Additionally, now the fraudsters are sending a follow up email requesting wire transfers.

Always be wary when you receive an email requesting any sensitive data, especially if you are in a position dealing with SSN or other private data for employees. Companies should have policies in place about the handling of employee W-2 formss and other sensitive data.

If your corporation receives a possible phishing email, please forward it to phishing@irs.gov.

The same day the business closed, a newly-incorporated entity bought all of their inventory, used the same website and phone number, hired all their employees and continued to do the same line of work. This new business was solely owned by the wife, who had formerly owned 40%.

The IRS collected approximately $400,000 from the new businesses' receivables and bank accounts to satisfy the tax debt. The Seventh Circuit agreed with the IRS's claim that the two corporations were basically the same, and that they could not claim that the new corporation was not liable for the old corporations tax liability.
