AVOID SCAMMERS DURING TAX SEASON
Common scams include phishing, fake charities, threatening impersonator phone calls, and social media scams. Scammers often pretend to work for the IRS, but the IRS will never call, text, email or mail you asking for confidential information. Be vigilant and be sure your only contacts are official agencies and charities.
