SCAM ALERT:

2/3/2017

0 Comments

 
The IRS has sent out a warning about an email scam. The scam involves fraudulent CP2000 notices for tax year 2015. These notices pertain to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and request that your check be made out to "I.R.S." The notices are attached to an email that appears to come from Austin, Texas.


How can you know if your notice is legitimate? First of all, any correspondence claiming to be from the IRS that originates from email, or any social media, is not legitimate. Any actual notice from the IRS will come printed through the mail. If you have received any notice appearing to be from the IRS via email, or any social media, it is not authentic.


In addition, all checks for any federal taxes are to be made out to "United States Treasury." Any time someone tells you to make a check for your federal taxes payable to any other entity, you should be cautious and suspect a possible phishing scam.


What should you do if you think you are receiving a fraudulent notice? Forward any scam to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov and delete the email from your account.


We are here to help! We are happy to help our clients determine if any correspondence you may receive is legitimate and help you navigate communication with the IRS. Call us today and let us help you!
