Al mantenerse informado y seguir las recomendaciones del IRS, los contribuyentes pueden evitar convertirse en víctimas de fraude.
The IRS warns of sophisticated tax scams targeting refunds, particularly leading up to the April 15th deadline. These scams include false tax advice on social media (like TikTok and Facebook) promoting fraudulent W-2 forms and non-existent credits, offers to create fake IRS accounts to steal refunds, and the promotion of a bogus "self-employment tax credit." The IRS advises taxpayers to be wary of these schemes to avoid penalties, delays, and identity theft.
