Every year, the IRS releases a list of 12 scams and schemes that affect taxpayers. Named the “Dirty Dozen”, these items are listed to raise awareness to common schemes that are used to steal money and sensitive information. Aside from well-known identity theft, some of these scams can range from donating to fake charities to falsely claiming tax credits.
Although this year’s tax season is over, it is important to stay informed to avoid falling victim to these common scams.
