My business e-mail address has been getting flooded with this. Sender’s address is allegedly noreply@irs.gov (but anyone can spoof a sender’s address). Subject line is always “Notice of Underreported Income”, however the ax ID number is something randomly generated. The first instance was immediately forwarded to phishing@irs.gov.
The IRS will never use e-mail medium for such correspondence. It will always be via US Postal Service.
Exactly. I hope more people know this as well.
