If you get an email, text, letter or call not from MAX YOUR TAX that claims to be from the IRS — or if you see social media posts about how to get a big refund — it might be a scam or bad tax advice.

What to know

An email, call or message could be a scam if it:

• Is unexpected
• Rushes or threatens you
• Offers refunds, credits or deductions
• Pressures for personal or financial information
• Tells you to pay now “or else”

Report a scam

If you were scammed, had your information stolen or suspect fraud, there are actions you can take. Call Max Your Tax ASAP
