True or False?
📱 The IRS will text you about your refund.
🤔 Answer: False.
The IRS generally does not initiate contact by text message about your refund, account, or tax bill.
Scammers often send fake texts claiming you're owed money or need to verify your information.
Before clicking any links, stop and verify the message through official IRS resources.
When in doubt, don't click.
