Every year at this time, scammers start targeting the unsuspecting public with phone calls and emails claiming to be from the IRS. They will either “phish” for information — trying to get you to reveal your social security number, date of birth, etc., so that they can send you a refund — or they will threaten you with a notice of unpaid taxes that must be paid immediately.
The real IRS will never initiate contact with you by phone, email, or on social media.
