Beware of Fake IRS Tax Bill Notices
The IRS has received numerous reports of scammers sending a fraudulent version of a notice- labeled CP2000 - for tax year 2015.
This scam may arrive by email, as an attachment, or by mail. It has many signs of being a fake:
The CP2000 notices appear to be issued from an Austin, Texas, address;
The letter says the issue is related to the Affordable Care Act and requests information regarding 2014 coverage;
The payment voucher lists the letter number as 105C;
Requests checks made out to I.R.S. and sent to the ?Austin Processing Center? at a post office box.
Make sure to check with your tax preparer before sending any payments to IRS.
