The IRS is warning taxpayers about scams involving the Economic Impact Payment that people are anxiously waiting for during this emergency.
Scammers may reach out to you and ask for your personal info. HANG UP. This is a scam and the IRS will NOT be contacting you for more info.
The majority of people do not need to take any action to get the economic impact payment. The IRS will calculate and automatically send it to those eligible.
Visit the IRS website for more info on Economic Impact Payments and get the latest news on resources available to you.
