Watch Out For These Tax Scams

Did you know that identity thieves can file a fake tax return in your name with only your Social Security number and birth date?

In 2016, there was a 400% increase in tax related phishing and malware attacks, and 969,000 potentially fraudulent refunds claiming up to $6.5 billion. You may be unaware that you’re a victim until you try to file your taxes and IRS tells you something’s wrong.

Here are four common scams to watch out for this year:

- Phishing—Fraudsters send fake emails to trick would-be victims into sharing personal data. The real IRS would never initiate contact with you this way.
- Phone fraud—Identity thieves impersonate IRS agents. But, the real IRS states it will never call to demand immediate payment. You will first receive a mailed bill.
- Tax preparer fraud—Use tax professionals? Watch out for emails that appear to be from them asking for private information. Delete and call your service directly.
- Phony IRS agents visit your home—This scam often targets the elderly. Real IRS agents carry photo IDs, and will try to contact you before visiting.
