It's peak tax season - and the IRS says scammers could be trying to rob you blind...
Here are some warnings:
• Do NOT respond to email from the IRS looking for personal information – or click on any links. It’s bogus. The IRS does NOT contact you by email.
• If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS – don’t give them any information. Call the IRS to confirm that person is an employee.
• Don’t fall for phony refunds. The IRS says scammers are trying to convince people they’re eligible for the American Opportunity Tax Credit in order to get information.
The IRS is on Twitter now - you can follow them @IRSnews. They’ve even got a free app for your Android or Apple phone. It’s IRS2GO and it lets you check out your refund status and tax records.
