TAM ALERT: It is that time of year for the IRS scammsters.

I had a call on my answer machine the other night with the following message, “he IRS is filing a lawsuit against you, and that you needed to call them back immediately on 914-595-6462 for the case information.” This is a scam! Don't bite!

    Thanks for the alert, Gordon.

    It is very important that the IRS has taxpayers’ correct mailing address on file. If they need something, they will mail a letter. The nasty phone calls begin after notices are repeatedly ignored.

    From IRS.gov:

    Note that the IRS will never: 1) call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill; 2) demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe; 3) require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card; 4) ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone; or 5) threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying
