The IRS has issued a bulletin titled: "Be Alert to Scammers Who Pose as the IRS Scammers pretending to be from the IRS continue to target taxpayers. These scams take many different forms. Among the most common are phone calls and fake emails. Thieves use the IRS name, logo or a fake website to try and steal money from taxpayers. Identity theft can also happen with such scams. Taxpayers need to be cautious of phone calls or automated messages from scammers who claim to be from the IRS. These criminals often say the taxpayer owes money. They also demand immediate payment. Scammers also lie to taxpayers and say they are due a refund. They do this to lure their victims into giving their bank account information over the phone. The IRS warns taxpayers not to fall for these scams. Below are tips that will help avoid becoming a victim: The IRS will NOT: Call to demand immediate payment using specific payment method such as a prepaid debit card, gift card or wire transfer. Generally, the IRS first mails a bill to taxpayers who owe taxes. If the IRS assigns a case to a Private Debt Collector (PCA), both the IRS and the authorized collection agency send a letter to the taxpayer. Payment is always to the United States Treasury. Threaten to immediately bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have the taxpayer arrested for not paying. Demand payment of taxes without giving the taxpayer the opportunity to question or appeal the amount owed. Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. If a taxpayer does not owe any tax, they should: Contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. Report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission. Use the “FTC Complaint Assistant” on FTC.gov. Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your report. If a taxpayer is not sure whether they owe any tax, they can view their tax account information on IRS.gov to find out. Taxpayers should also watch out for emails and websites looking to steal personal information. An IRS phishing scam is an unsolicited, bogus email that claims to come from the IRS.   The entire article will be found in the "Other Topics" column or by clicking here: Other Topics. ******* H/AREA Board Member Kundan Patel continues to update The President's Report column.
