Watch Out For IRS Tax Scams

There have been reported incidents of swindlers using an IRS pitch as a IRS Tax scam. One such incident happened to Brett. He panicked after hearing a phone message that the IRS was about to investigate him. Brett is a 43 year old contractor from the County of Morrow. He wondered whether he had missed anything in regards to his Free Turbo Tax application. So he decided to make a call back and then his worry turned to anger. There are lots of scammers out there especially as the Tax period gets near. More about IRS Tax Scams:

At this time of the year, thieves and con artists fine tune their tricks and up their game in order to swindle individuals, often threatening them with jail terms and deportation.

Turbo Tax should help people allay their fears in regards to their 2016 taxes.
