Is it really the IRS calling? Many taxpayers have encountered individuals
impersonating IRS officials – in person, over the telephone and via email. Don’t get scammed. We want you to understand
how and when the IRS contacts taxpayers and help you determine whether a contact you may have received is truly from an IRS
employee.The IRS initiates most contacts through regular mail
delivered by the United States Postal Service. However, there are special
circumstances in which the IRS will call or come to a home or business, such as when a taxpayer has an overdue tax bill, to
secure a delinquent tax return or a delinquent employment tax payment, or to tour a business as part of an audit or during
criminal investigations. To understand how and when the IRS contacts taxpayers
and determine if it’s truly the IRS see: How to know it’s really the IRS calling or knocking on your door.
IRS Alerts Taxpayers with Limited English Proficiency of Ongoing Phone Scams; Urges Caution Before Paying Unexpected Tax
Bills
WASHINGTON — The
Internal Revenue Service today warned taxpayers with limited English proficiency of phone scams and email phishing schemes
that continue to occur across the country. Con
artists often approach victims in their native language, threaten them with deportation, police arrest and license revocation,
among other things. “These scammers continue
to adapt and evolve, and the IRS continues to receive reports of these schemes using multiple languages trying to find victims
across the country,” IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said. “Don’t be fooled. Regardless of the language being
used, the IRS won’t be calling out of the blue to verify your personal tax information or threaten you to make an immediate
tax payment using a specific method of payment, such as on a pre-paid debit card," Koskinen said. How do scams work? Scammers
make unsolicited calls claiming to be IRS officials, and they can use different languages besides English. They tell their
victims they owe the IRS money and must pay it promptly through a preloaded debit card, gift card or wire transfer. They may
also leave “urgent” callback requests through phone “robo-calls” or via a phishing email. If the victim
refuses to cooperate, the caller becomes hostile and insulting and may threaten arrest, deportation or revocation of a driver’s
or professional license. Alternately, scammers can politely
begin asking taxpayers to verify their identity over the phone. They may say they have their tax return, and they just need
to verify a few details to process the return. They may also tell their victims they have a refund due to trick them into
sharing private information such as Social Security numbers or personal financial information, such as bank or credit cards
numbers.
