U.S. Tax Court Warning about Tax Scams
Some people may receive unsolicited phone calls, emails, or other communications from individuals fraudulently claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or other Federal government agencies and demanding immediate payment by money order, gift card, debit card, or other means to settle a tax debt.
The Tax Court does not want anyone to be victimized by a tax scam. It is important that you know that the Tax Court will never do any of the following:
- call or email demanding payment of Court fees or taxes;
- call or email threatening arrest;
- call or email insisting that a specific payment method be used to pay a tax debt or requesting credit or debit card numbers over the phone.
If you would like to verify that the communication you received is really from the Tax Court please call the Court at (202) 521-0700.
