IRS Warns About Fraudulent Tax Credit Schemes

Fraudulent Tax Credit Schemes

The IRS has issued alerts about fraudulent schemes encouraging taxpayers to claim credits they do not qualify for. Scammers are targeting both individuals and small businesses, promoting false or misleading information about credits such as the paid sick and family leave credit and the fuel tax credit.

These schemes can lead to costly errors, penalties, and IRS audits. To stay protected, taxpayers should:

• Confirm eligibility for any credit using official IRS guidance.

• Avoid “too good to be true” offers circulating online or through unauthorized sources.

• Work with a qualified tax professional to ensure all credits are claimed correctly.

If you have questions about whether you qualify for a tax credit, San Diego Precision Tax Service can help you navigate IRS rules and stay compliant.
