Tax-related Gift Card Scams During the Holidays – Did You Know?

The holiday season can bring a lot of joy, but unfortunately, it also brings a new wave of scammers trying to cheat Americans out of their hard-earned money. Many scammers impersonate the IRS or other government agencies and demand payment in gift cards.

In one common version of the scam, a caller posing as an IRS agent threatens a person with tax and/or criminal penalties if the person does not immediately pay off a fictitious tax debt. The scammer may also send threatening text, email or voice messages with a callback number. Ultimately, the scammer demands that the person make payment by purchasing gift cards and sharing the card numbers and PINs.

If you get a call or message from anyone demanding payment in gift cards, hang up or do not reply. The IRS will never call a taxpayer to demand payment in gift cards, prepaid debit cards or wire transfers. If you have legitimate concerns about your tax situation, including back taxes you may owe, a tax professional can help you handle the problem in a safe, secure way.

'Tis the Season to Prepare for Tax Time – Start Assembling Important Documents Now

With a New Year fast approaching, tax filing season cannot be far behind. Taking a few simple steps to prepare over the next several weeks can significantly reduce stress when you complete your return. First, make sure you have important records readily at hand, like last year's return and receipts for deductible expenses or donations. Second, keep your eyes out for year-end income statements in January and early February. These documents may include:

- W-2 forms from employers
- Forms 1099-NEC and/or 1099-MISC showing your income from sources like rents, self-employment activities (such as gig work) and royalties
- Forms 1099-INT and 1099-DIV showing interest, dividends and other investment income

If you accept payments for goods or services through a payment app or online payment platform, you might also receive Form 1099-K showing that income. The filing threshold for these forms was lowered for 2024, so you may receive one even if you never have in the past.

Other important forms you might receive include Forms 1095-A (Health Insurance Marketplace Statement) and 1098-T (Tuition Statement). Also remember that you must answer questions about your involvement with digital assets like crypto on your tax return, and report any resulting income. Make sure you have complete records of all your 2024 digital asset transactions, so you can meet these reporting requirements. A tax professional can help you organize your records, and help you file your return electronically to get your refund as quickly as possible.
