The outgoing Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza is warning Illinoisans about possible scams this tax season.
One of the most prevalent scams currently circulating has thieves posing as someone from the IRS. They may reach out via phone call, text or email, sometimes becoming aggressive.
The IRS has launched a website to report tax related fraud, and offers advice about how to tell if a message is really from the IRS.
Mendoza also states once you file your state taxes, you can visit Find My Refund on the Illinois Office of Comptroller website to check the status of your refund if applicable.
