Identity thieves are becoming more creative in hitting people with realistic-looking emails and texts about their tax returns and refunds. These messages claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS will only send snail mail letters. They will never contact you via text, phone, or social media.
Scammers use these tactics to obtain your personal information, money, and more, leading to tax identity theft. This is when your Social Security number is stolen and used to file fraudulent tax returns. They then steal the funds your owed by depositing the tax refunds into their accounts.
There are signs that your tax identity has been stolen. One is if your tax return is rejected upon filing. This is due to your Social Security number being used by the scammers.
Another is if you receive a snail mail letter from the IRS notifying you of changes to your online account. If you receive a W-2 form from a company you haven't worked for more than a year, it means your tax identity has been compromised.
The IRS will always send you a letter to verify your identity when they suspect foul play.
To protect yourself from scammers, never give information over the phone, especially when an unrecognized number calls you and you don't know who is on the other end. It's also advisable to file your tax return early and electronically.
