Michigan sent 27,000 taxpayers incorrect notices, including ‘alarming’ letters claiming owed taxes paid. Weeks later, the state is still working to correct the errors.

Common Scenarios for Fake Direct Deposit Letters
The "Unclaimed Refund" Scam: You receive a letter or email claiming you have an unclaimed refund due to a "computer error" or missed deduction. It asks for your bank details or a "processing fee" to release the funds.
The "Erroneous Deposit" Scam: Hackers use your stolen data to file a fraudulent return and have the refund deposited into your actual bank account. You then receive a fake letter or call from a "collection agency" or the "IRS" claiming the deposit was a mistake and demanding you wire the money back.
"We Couldn't Direct Deposit" Scam: A letter (often with a QR code) claims the IRS tried to deposit your refund but failed, prompting you to "verify" your account info on a fake website.

How to Spot a Fake IRS Letter
Missing Notice Numbers: Legitimate IRS letters always have a specific notice (CP) or letter (LTR) number in the top-right corner.
Unusual Payment Demands: The real IRS will never ask for payment via wire transfer, gift cards, or prepaid debit cards.
Aggressive Tone: Scammers use threats of immediate arrest, deportation, or license suspension to create panic.
Poor Quality: Look for spelling errors, grammatical mistakes, or low-resolution logos.
Suspicious Links: Official IRS links always end in .gov. Be wary of links like "irs.com" or shortened URLs.
IRS (.gov)
IRS (.gov)

Immediate Actions to Take
Do Not Click or Respond: Never click links, open attachments, or call the phone number provided in a suspicious letter.
Verify via Official Channels:
Log in to your Official IRS Online Account to check for a digital copy of the notice.
Call the official IRS customer service line at 1-800-829-1040 to verify the letter’s authenticity.
Report the Scam:
Forward phishing emails or photos of suspicious letters to [email protected].
Report impersonation attempts to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) or call 1-800-366-4484.
Handle Unexpected Refunds Properly: If you receive a direct deposit you did not expect, contact your bank's ACH department to have them return the funds to the IRS immediately.
