OMG! The IRS Just Sent Me a Letter; Spot the Scam. Verify the Notice.
Real IRS contact starts with a letter. The real IRS will never demand a gift card. Everything else you need before you panic.
Every tax season I get the same phone call: someone convinced they're about to be arrested by the IRS. They never are.
How impersonation scams actually run and what's new about them this year, how the IRS really contacts you laid out beside how scammers do, my standing advice in three words, what a genuine notice looks like and how to verify one, and exactly what to do in the first few hours if you already paid or already handed over information.
Includes a quick-reference card, a reporting directory, and an incident log.
