This time of year there are many tax-related scams consumers should be on the look out for. Please be wary of any telephone and email messages from the IRS, especially those demanding immediate payment, or requesting your personal information, including your social security number or username and password for e-filing. The IRS will never send an email requesting that you download, upload, or access your tax transcripts.
