It has come to our attention that an email is being issued to tax preparers asking them to update their e-Services information. The link provided in the email to access e-Services appears to be a phishing scam to capture e-Services usernames and passwords. Additionally, some tax preparers have received scam telephone calls, again attempting to capture e-Services usernames and passwords.
If you receive an email like this, do not click on the link and ignore the phone calls. If you mistakenly clicked on the link, please call the IRS e-help Desk using this toll free number for help. Scam calls should be ignored and reported to the Federal Trade Commission.
