The “Dirty Dozen” American film released by MGM in 1967 depicts wartime law breaking, theft and impersonation, but today we are talking about the IRS’s “Dirty Dozen Tax Scams for 2017″ list, which depicts law breaking, theft and impersonation issues that are putting taxpayers at risk.
Every year the IRS releases what it determines are the 12 worst tax scams of the year, affectionately known as the Dirty Dozen. Once again and not surprisingly, phishing, phone scams and identity theft are the top three. These Dirty Dozen scams can be encountered at any time during year, but they peak during tax season. Unfortunately, an increasing number of people fall prey to these scams. Don’t be one of them. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
