Tips to Protect Against Fraudulent Tax Crime

The chances are high that a victim of identity theft can also be targeted for tax identity fraud. We have listed below steps for you to take to avoid falling victim to such scams.

Filing Tax Quickly

Filing taxes early helps to avoid the risk of potential identity theft. It cannot be determined if some have fallen prey to identity theft. There have been instances when someone gets an alert from the IRS that their taxes have already been filed. To avoid such scams, it is better to file your taxes as early as possible.

Get an IRS PIN

One of the best ways to avoid someone else filing a tax under your name is to apply for a six-digit Identity Protection PIN or IP PIN. Thus, while filing a tax, you will receive an IP PIN, which verifies your identity with the IRS. These IP PINs are good for one whole calendar year, and you can create a new one for every calendar year. Scammers are also well aware of these IP PINs and may try to contact you to get hold of these PINs. They will generally contact you through emails, texts, or even phone calls. If you are filing through a professional tax preparer, provide the PIN at the last moment before the file is uploaded.

Monitor your credit and identity

You should keep a close tab on your financial activities. Make it a habit to check your account details frequently throughout the year. Try to look out for unauthorized activities and report them upon finding them.

Refrain From Posting Sensitive Details
Online

Scammers are known to collect data through various means. One of the easiest ways for scammers to stalk their potential victims is when they advertise their sensitive data on social media platforms and other apps. Always ensure that you use verified and authentic apps instead of sketchy ones.

Emerging Taxation Frauds

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) knows that scammers trick people into fraudulent financial activities. These con artists use emotions like fear and greed to lure their victims into financial trouble.

The IRS warns against schemes that falsely promise instant wealth or exemption from certain obligations when filing tax returns or paying taxes. Some schemes can cause financial trouble, while others can lead to prosecution and imprisonment if someone knowingly participates.

Abusive Return Preparer

Caution must be exercised while choosing a tax preparer. Although many file taxes as per federal rules and regulations, some unscrupulous individuals create falsified and fraudulent claims while filing tax returns that may defraud their clients.

If caught, the responsibility falls on the one whose tax returns are filed and not the tax preparer. Since they are the ones to provide financial details, skipping or not considering certain assets is deemed to be a federal offense.

Abusive Tax Schemes

Abusive tax schemes first took place within the framework of fraudulent local and international trust arrangements. Over time, such schemes have evolved into sophisticated arrangements that appear to give taxpayers no control over their money.

These taxpayers receive their money through either debit/credit cards or fictitious loans. Many times, these schemes involve offshore banking and sometimes even create scam corporations or entities.

Impersonating Authorities

When we discuss scammers, the most frequent play involves these deceitful entities acting as someone they are not. To the extent that they may even pretend to be government officials, tax collectors, or income tax authorities.

They go around threatening naive individuals with fines or penalties for not paying income taxes. Fabricating untrue reports and using the same to manipulate these innocent parties are some of their many practices.

Nonfiler Enforcement

Some individuals have the opinion that taxes need to be a voluntary act and may even be illegal. Regardless, the courts have frequently rejected these arguments as and when they are made. They have also charged fines for raising such baseless arguments.

It is important to learn the truth about these baseless arguments. Rejecting your responsibilities as a citizen may cost you hefty penalties or offenses. Like the saying goes, it’s always better to play safe than sorry.

Red Flags Indicating You're A Tax Scam Victim

Checkout these cues that immediately indicate being victimized by a taxation scam.

1. Immediate Taxables

Addressing your taxables early is a precautionary step that can prevent any back or forth. However, having someone push you to immediately pay off your taxes, may be some fishy business you weren’t expecting. No matter the pressure, make sure to run through your tax obligations to confirm whether it’s a sham or not.

2. Unknown Sources

If there are any correspondences or intimations from an unknown source, you have no reason to believe that the one in question is a legitimate identity. Nor are you answerable or chargeable against any strange claims. Even if the person contacting you calls you out as an income tax authority, verify them before moving further.

3. Clicking on Misery

If you’ve clicked onto a link asking you to pay off your taxes, and haven’t received any confirmations on your payment. It may be a case of a phishing scam. Using such illicit sites to enter your financial details may also lead to more uncertainties or future losses. Moreover, any other suspicious actions on your account may also be a clear indication of a scam.

4. Account Hacks 

If you notice any strange activities on any of your accounts, social or financial, you may be a victim to identity theft. Ensure to take all the necessary actions in safeguarding your sensitive and financial details. Keep a eye on your credit score, tax obligations, and account security and balances. Report any undue payments made from your account, to your respective bank.
