NEW IRS Scam
October 10, 2016
"There is an insidious new IRS scam doing the rounds. They
send you a phony IRS CP 2000 form and claim the income reported on
your tax return does not match the income reported by your employer.
This is meant to get you worried. To confuse you further, the bad
guys claim this has something to do with the Affordable Care Act.
You might receive emails with attached phony forms, text messages
and even live calls to your phone about this! You need to know that
the IRS will never initiate contact with you to collect overdue
taxes by an email, text message or phone call.
If you get any emails, text messages, old-time snail mail or even
live calls about this, do not respond and/or hang up the phone. If
you receive a "CP 2000" form in the mail and doubt this is
legit, you can always call the IRS at 1-800-366-4484 to confirm it
is a scam."
