PEACE OF MIND

A message promises a refund? Take a moment

Three habits to protect your information before tapping a link.

Recognize pressure

Be cautious of unexpected messages promising money while demanding personal details, bank information or urgent payment. A familiar logo does not prove who sent a message.

Verify independently

Do not open suspicious links or attachments. Type IRS.gov directly into your browser to find official information and ways to contact the IRS.

Help someone else

Share this guide with your family. For suspicious messages, follow the IRS reporting instructions; never share your private information in public comments.
