DON’T BECOME A VICTIM OF FRAUD

The IRS, State or Social Security will NEVER:
• Call you to demand an immediate payment
• Claim to be able to suspend or cancel your Social Security Number
• Demand that you pay a debt without the ability to appeal the amount you owe
• Require a specific means of payment, such as requiring you to pay with a prepaid debit card
• Ask you for your personal information or credit or debit card numbers over the phone; or
• Threaten you with arrest or deportation

If you receive one of these scam calls or emails, do not provide them with any information. You should hang up immediately!
For Social Security impersonations, contact Social Security’s Office of Inspector General at https://oig.ssa.gov/report.

The IRS, State or Social Security will never call or e-mail you. If you receive correspondence which looks like it’s coming from a government entity requesting you fill out private information and mail or fax it back, DO NOT DO IT. Call the IRS or State to confirm any type of correspondence. Bring any IRS or state letters regarding your tax return to the attention of your tax preparer!
