Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration Press Release; J.Russell George Urges Taxpayers to Remain on "High Alert" to Prevent More Losses to IRS Impersonators

Author: Jody Rodney/Friday, January 5, 2018/Categories: Compliance Corner

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), J. Russell George, reminds taxpayers to remain on “High Alert” during the coming tax filing season to avoid being conned by criminals who impersonate Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Treasury employees in an effort to steal their money. “Please remember to remain on guard against fraudulent calls. If you receive one, hang up, and report the call immediately to our website,” he added. 

Here is what you need to know.  The IRS generally first contacts people by mail – not by phone – about unpaid taxes, and the IRS will not ask for payment using a prepaid debit card, a money order, or wire transfer. The IRS also will not ask for a credit card number over the phone.

Please review the details of the Press Release for additional information.
