Attorney General Josh Shapiro Warns About IRS Tax Day Scams
By: KDKA-TV News Staff
HARRISBURG (KDKA) -- Ahead of the April 18 tax deadline, Attorney General Josh Shapiro is warning taxpayers to be wary about potential scams.
Scammers may pose as the IRS or a fake tax agency to try and get people's money.
He says to never provide information to any caller claiming to be the IRS.
Scammers can spoof phone numbers, so getting a call from an IRS number doesn't mean it is legitimate.
And he says to be careful in selecting a tax prep business online.
