The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently issued a warning about a new phone scam involving fake calls from the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS). Tax scammers are using “spoofed” TAS phone numbers to contact potential victims to obtain personal information and payments. The IRS reminds taxpayers that TAS does not typically initiate calls to taxpayers, unless the taxpayer has requested assistance first.
Additional information about how to protect yourself from tax scams is available here.
