Refunds and Stimulus Checks: Tax Season Scams to Know

^{Published on 2025-03-26 10:41:18 - Newsweek}

Learn how to spot and avoid scams including fake refunds, IRS impersonators and AI voice fraud targeting filers this season.

The article from MSN discusses various scams that taxpayers should be aware of during tax season. It highlights that scammers often impersonate IRS agents, using tactics like phone calls, emails, or text messages to trick individuals into revealing personal information or making payments. Common scams include promises of larger tax refunds, demands for immediate payment of supposed tax debts, or offers of fake stimulus checks. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers via email, text, or social media to request personal or financial information, nor do they ask for payments through gift cards, prepaid debit cards, or wire transfers. The article advises taxpayers to be cautious of unsolicited communications, to verify the identity of anyone claiming to be from the IRS, and to report any suspicious activity. It also mentions that the IRS has been issuing refunds and stimulus checks, but these are processed through official channels, and any communication regarding these should be verified through official IRS correspondence or their website.
