The IRS is warning taxpayers about misleading tax credit claims that could lead to costly mistakes. Some scammers promote nonexistent credits, such as a “Native American Tax Credit.” Others encourage taxpayers to claim legitimate credits for which few people qualify, including the Fuel Tax Credit.
Be cautious of anyone promising unusually large tax savings or offering tax credits that can be purchased. Fraudsters often use social media to promote these schemes and create a false sense of urgency by claiming that only a limited number of credits are available.
The best defense is to work with reputable tax professionals who can help distinguish legitimate tax-saving opportunities from questionable claims.
