The tax scam is a menace that appears to be increasing every year and it’s a situation that has the potential to affect many, if not all of us in one form or another. In fact, according to Federal Trade Commission data, one in three Americans between the ages of 20 and 29 has suffered at the hands of fraudsters.
The problem reaches far and wide, with elderly and vulnerable people also falling foul of scams, including everyone in-between who pays taxes and has to tackle common IRS forms such as the W-2.
