IRS warns Americans to beware of dangerous new scams this tax season

The IRS released its annual "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams for the 2026 filing season, warning taxpayers about emerging fraud tactics including phishing emails with fake IRS websites, AI-powered phone scams with spoofed caller IDs, and fake charities exploiting disasters. Criminals are using stolen personal information to access IRS accounts, spreading viral "tax hack" misinformation on social media, and impersonating IRS officials to steal sensitive data and personal identifiable information. The IRS reminds taxpayers that it typically contacts by mail first and urges them to remain vigilant, report suspicious communications, and avoid clicking links from unsolicited messages.
