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.

Scams could now cost Americans $119 billion a year, study finds

According to a new Consumer Federation of America study, Americans lose at least $119 billion annually to scams—far exceeding the FBI's reported $16.6 billion in losses for 2024—based on estimates that only 14% of scams are reported to authorities. Investment scams, particularly "pig butchering" schemes involving fake romantic relationships and cryptocurrency fraud, represent the most economically devastating category, with actual losses estimated at $46.6 billion compared to reported losses of $6.6 billion. The CFA recommends regulating data brokers to reduce scammers' access to personal information used to target vulnerable populations.
