The Dirty Dozen Tax Scams

A virtual Small Business Tax Workshop with the Internal Revenue Service!

In this FREE presentation, you will learn about the most common tax scams.

Compiled annually, the Dirty Dozen list includes a variety of scams that taxpayers can encounter anytime. The Internal Revenue Service warns taxpayers, businesses, and tax professionals to beware of these common deceptions that threaten their tax and financial information. Ranging from email schemes to misleading tax credits, many of the Dirty Dozen items peak during filing season as people prepare their tax returns. However, in reality, these scams can occur throughout the year as fraudsters look for ways to steal money, personal information and data.

Don’t wait until tax season to educate yourself!

Speaker: Paul Sadler, Senior Stakeholder Liaison within the Communications and Liaison office of the Internal Revenue Service. With well-rounded expertise in conducting comprehensive audits, resolving complex tax disputes, and managing taxpayers, Paul has a proven record of providing taxpayer education and promotion of Internal Revenue Service products and services.
