Tax Scam Alert:
The IRS is warning Tribal communities about scams involving fake “Tribal Tax Credits,” “Native American Tax Credits,” and similar offers.
These federal tax credits do not exist. Scammers may promise large refunds, offer credits for purchase, or pressure you to act quickly.
A few things to remember:
- Be cautious of tax offers that sound too good to be true.
- Don’t let anyone pressure you into acting quickly.
- Never claim a credit on your tax return that you don’t understand.
- Check with a trusted tax professional or the IRS before providing personal information or money.
Take your time, ask questions, and verify before you act.
