If you receive a surprise call from the IRS, it almost certainly not the IRS. The IRS generally sees a surge in scam phone calls that threaten police arrest, deportation, license revocation, and other things during the filing season. Be aware that the IRS generally initially contacts taxpayers by mail. If you need assistance preparing your return this tax season, contact DTA at 877-DTA-6379 or [email protected]. #DTATips #irs #taxes #scam #fraud #police
