The IRS released its annual Dirty Dozen tax scams for 2026. Watch for promoters touting a “self-employment tax credit;” there’s no such thing. And the IRS cautions you to watch out for AI-enabled IRS impersonation by phone (robocalls, voice mimicry, spoofed caller ID). The IRS always contacts taxpayers first by mail and never leaves urgent, threatening, or demand-for-payment messages. And a reminder: “tax hacks” on social media can be misleading (misinformation or disinformation). #IdeaoftheDay
