IRS launches new web page to streamline tax fraud and scam reporting

IR-2026-26, Feb. 26, 2026

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced the launch of a new web page that allows taxpayers to confidentially report suspected tax fraud, scams, evasion, or other tax-related illegal activities, as well as internal-facing improvements that will enhance how referrals are used to stop illegal activity.

“Improvements to the IRS fraud reporting system make reporting suspected wrongdoing easier and simpler and will address historic challenges that had prevented the IRS from making maximum use of the referrals it receives,” said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano. “By reporting suspected tax fraud or scams, taxpayers play an important role in uncovering fraud and supporting the integrity of the nation’s tax system.”

The new web page consolidates multiple IRS fraud-reporting options into a single, centralized location, making it easier for taxpayers to report suspicious activity. The web page can be found by selecting the new ‘Report Fraud’ button on the IRS.gov homepage or at IRS.gov/SubmitATip. Taxpayers are encouraged to report suspected tax-related wrongdoing as soon as possible to help the IRS address fraud and noncompliance.

The new web page is only an initial improvement to the IRS’s fraud reporting process. Over the longer term, the IRS plans to streamline fraud reporting by reducing forms, automating processes, and using modern case management software.

These changes will address historic challenges the IRS has faced in using referrals. Creating fewer work streams, simplifying how taxpayers submit referrals, and making processing of claims more efficient will improve how IRS uses referrals in years to come.

🚨 MARRIED FILING STATUS FACTS (IRS-Backed) 🚨

If you are legally married as of December 31, the IRS says your filing status is Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) or Married Filing Separately (MFS).

Living apart, being “separated,” or not speaking to your spouse does not make you single.
(IRS Publication 501)

You are only considered unmarried for IRS purposes if you have a final decree of divorce or separate maintenance dated on or before 12/31.
No final decree = you are still married.
Single is not an option.
(IRS Publication 501)

A married person may file Head of Household only if the IRS considers them “unmarried” and all requirements are met:

• You did not live with your spouse during the last 6 months of the year
• You paid more than half the cost of maintaining the home
• A qualifying child lived with you more than half the year
• You are eligible to claim that child

Miss one requirement and Head of Household is not allowed.
(IRS Publication 501 | IRC §7703(b))

If one spouse qualifies for Head of Household, the other spouse does not gain options.
They must file Married Filing Separately—not Single and not Head of Household unless they independently qualify.
(IRS Publication 501 | IRC §7703)

Bottom line:
Married = MFJ or MFS
Single = only with a final decree
Head of Household = an exception, not a preference

BIG FACTS!
