On this episode of the Voices of Reason podcast, Jasen Lee and Amy Donaldson discuss tax fraud with Mike Brock assistant special agent in charge for IRS criminal investigation and Casey Hill, special agent and public information officer with the Internal Revenue Service office in Ogden.
As Tax Day 2017 (April 18) approaches, the IRS is warning taxpayers about a number of schemes involving identity theft, return prepare fraud, phishing scams, and phone scams. Each year the IRS publishes a list of 12 tax scams that have come to be called the “IRS Dirty Dozen.” This list as well as a wealth of other information can be found on irs.gov.
Brock and Hill educate the public on protecting personal information and reporting suspected crimes to the IRS. They also offer suggestions on choosing reputable tax preparers and the “do’s and don’ts” of understanding individual responsibilities regarding return preparation.
