Every year, the IRS compiles a list of 12 tax scams that could target or affect taxpayers, known as the “Dirty Dozen” list. It advises tax professionals and taxpayers, both individuals and businesses, to keep an eye out for these types of scams. While the IRS constantly adapts how it identifies and combats schemes targeting taxpayers, scammers and their techniques are also evolving. The 2023 Dirty Dozen list includes some repeat items from 2022, as well as some new ones that reflect recent changes to the nation’s tax laws.
