IRS Urges Caution with Email, Social Media, and Phones as part of the "Dirty Dozen" Series

Compiled annually by the Internal Revenue Service, the “Dirty Dozen” lists a variety of common scams that taxpayers may encounter anytime, but many of these schemes peak during filing season as people prepare their returns or hire someone to help with their taxes.

This year’s “Dirty Dozen” was separated into four installments, and today we are sharing the second installment. The Internal Revenue Service continues its “Dirty Dozen” tax scams list with Personal Information Cons, including phishing, ransomware, and phone “vishing.”
