You know how you always hear that the IRS won't contact you by phone? Well, this year, that is all set to change.
Beginning this spring, the IRS will contract with outside debt collection agencies to try to bring in more bacon to the IRS coffers. And they will be calling.
If you owe the IRS significant money, you may receive a letter in the mail that looks like this: http://bit.ly/2nsLSjA. Such notices include a special "Taxpayer Authentication Number", so that if you DO receive a phone call, you have a way to verify that it is a legit call and not a scammer. Share and help spread the word!
