What do I do if I get a phone call or email from someone saying they are from the IRS and I will go to jail if I don’t send them money?

Don’t talk to them! The IRS does not make calls or send emails to taxpayers. If you do receive a letter from the IRS, our advice would be to contact a tax professional right away. An IRS agent will claim they will help you; however, they truly work for the IRS and not you. A qualified professional will work, on your behalf, to get you the best possible outcome for your situation.
