The IRS has announced the start of the 2024 tax filing season, with 146 million individual tax returns expected. This is also a time when tax-related scams increase, with fraudsters using tactics such as unsolicited phone calls and bogus tech support to scam individuals.

These ads may claim to be the IRS Support Line, but they are often deceptive and operated by third-party companies.
