Tax season is scam season. Here’s what to look out for:
🚩 Unsolicited calls, emails, or texts claiming to be from the IRS or tax agents
🚩 Threats of immediate arrest, legal action, or deportation if you don’t pay right now
🚩Requests to pay with gift cards, wire transfers, or payment apps — all untraceable
🚩Promises of unusually large refunds
🚩Links to unofficial or misspelled websites
The IRS will never demand payment over the phone, threaten you with arrest, or ask for payment in gift cards. When in doubt, hang up and verify directly through official IRS channels.
