Tax season is upon us and while we are preparing our tax returns it is important to remember how the IRS works.
- The IRS does not call you directly to demand payment.
- The IRS does not ask you to pay an arbitrary amount without paperwork identifying what you owe, why you owe it, or a process to appeal.
- The IRS does not require you to use one specific method of payment such as a prepaid debit card.
- The IRS does not ask for your credit card info over the phone.
- The IRS does not threaten to call law enforcement or issue warrants for your arrest if payment is not made immediately.
This information and more can be seen right on the IRS.gov website Here.
Don't let scammers win!
