Scam Alert: Phishing Scams Target Mississippi Taxpayers via Text Message ​

The Mississippi Department of Revenue is warning Mississippi taxpayers of ongoing nationwide text scams that are hitting our state. ​

The department has received reports of a scam targeting taxpayers through text messages that appear to be from the Department of Revenue or the Department of Motor Vehicles and may state that your refund has been approved and ask for payment information and/or include a warning regarding unpaid traffic violations, outstanding toll charges, or fines owed. ​

These scams are designed to trick you into providing personal details, banking information and/or credit card information. ​

These texts are NOT from the Mississippi Department of Revenue and are NOT LEGITIMATE. The department will NEVER request payment or request personal banking information via text message. ​

If you receive one of these phishing texts, take the following action: ​
• Do not click on any links in the text ​
• Do not respond to the text ​
• Delete the text​

📝 Understanding Tax Forms: W-2 vs. 1099-NEC 📝

It's essential to grasp the difference between two common forms: the W-2 and the 1099-NEC.

Here's a breakdown to help you navigate:

🔹 W-2: If you're an employee, you'll receive a W-2 form from your employer. This form outlines your earnings, withholdings, and other pertinent information necessary for filing your taxes. It includes details such as wages, salary, tips, and taxes withheld throughout the year.

🔹 1099-NEC: On the other hand, if you're an independent contractor or freelancer, you'll likely receive a 1099-NEC. This form reports income you earned from non-employee compensation, such as fees, commissions, or payments for services rendered. Unlike the W-2, there are no withholdings for taxes, so you're responsible for paying self-employment taxes.

Understanding which form you should receive depends on your employment status and relationship with the payer. Misclassification can lead to tax implications, so it's crucial to ensure you're classified correctly.

If you have any questions about which form applies to you or need assistance with tax preparation, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help you navigate the complexities of tax season!

Stay informed, stay prepared, and let's tackle tax season together! 💼💡

🚨Attention Taxpayers: Beware of New IRS Scam Mailing!

Your vigilance is key! 👀 The IRS has issued a warning about a deceptive scam targeting taxpayers.

Here's what you need to know:

📬 Scam Alert: Some individuals are receiving mailings in cardboard envelopes from delivery services. Inside, there's a letter bearing the IRS masthead with misleading contact information and a phone number that's not affiliated with the IRS. The letter falsely claims to relate to an "unclaimed refund."

🛑 Don't Fall for It: It's crucial to stay alert and recognize these red flags. The IRS will never demand immediate payment over the phone, threaten legal action, or ask for sensitive information like your Social Security number via unsolicited calls or emails.

🔍 What to Do: If you receive such a mailing, do not respond or provide any personal information. Report it to the IRS at [email protected] and then securely discard it.

Spread the word to protect yourself and others from falling victim to this scam! Stay informed and stay safe. If you have any questions about a document you’ve received, reach out to us for help!
