I wanted to make you aware of a tax scam that is currently making the rounds via email. This form that is attached to the email is NOT an IRS form nor is it being sent out by the IRS. It requests very sensitive information from you that can clearly be used for some very potentially destructive purposes.
If you receive anything of this nature, I advise you to think twice before completing or returning before checking with your tax advisor.
Below is one of the emails:
From: IRS [mailto:irs@irsonline.gov]
Sent: Monday, March 28, 2011 4:57 PM
To: XXXXXX
Subject: This is in reference to your 2010 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return
This is in reference to your 2010 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return we seem to have some discrepancies with your filing. If you have already filed for your 2010 tax refund please get hold of a new form 1040 and mail it to the Department of the Treasury in your region.
If for any reason you have not yet filed for your 2010 Individual Income Tax Return please print out the attached PDF form, fill it and fax it to the IRS data center on (866) 513-7982 within 24 hours.
This has no bearing on your 2010 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, this to update our data and survey while we prepare to close the 2010 tax filing season.
Thank you
