   The IRS Dirty Dozen: 12 Tax Scams Targeting Taxpayers and Businesses in 2024

   Every year, the IRS names the 12 tax scams putting taxpayers, businesses, and tax professionals at the most risk. Here's what made the 2024 list. In this episode of IRS War Room, Melinda Tolbert walks through all 12 scams on the 2024 IRS Dirty Dozen list. They include bogus tax strategies, illegal schemes aimed at high-income filers, bad tax advice on social media, ghost tax preparers, offer in compromise mills, aggressive ERTC promoters, and phishing and smishing scams. She explains why signing your tax return means you agree to 100% of what's on it, why "pennies on the dollar" settlements are never guaranteed, and how fake Employee Retention Tax Credit claims are now under investigation. She also covers why password protecting a document still won't stop a determined hacker. For taxpayers and business owners, the lesson is simple: know who is handling your taxes, understand everything on your return, and protect your sensitive information. Listen to this episode of IRS War Room: The IRS Dirty Dozen: 12 Tax Scams Targeting Taxpayers and Businesses in 2024 Key Takeaways: You own everything on your tax return. When you sign it, you agree to 100% of what's on it. That makes bogus tax strategies aimed at high earners, bad advice from social media, and ghost preparers who never sign or add their PTIN all your risk, so understand everything being added to your business and personal returns. Offer in compromise is real, but guarantees aren't. The program is a great option for people who actually qualify. Approval depends on very detailed calculations, so any company guaranteeing you can settle for pennies on the dollar is overpromising. Fake ERTC claims are under investigation. Some promoters inflated employee counts on 941 returns for businesses that never qualified for the Employee Retention Tax Credit. The government paid out a lot of money, and businesses that received the credit are now being investigated. Sensitive information doesn't belong in your inbox. Business owners should not accept Social Security numbers or bank account numbers by email. Even password protected documents can be accessed by hackers who want the information badly enough.

   5 Tax Mistakes That Will Get You Audited By The IRS

   Some tax mistakes cost you a little money. Others get you audited, and a few can land you in federal prison. In this episode of IRS War Room, Melinda Tolbert breaks down the tax mistakes most likely to get you audited by the IRS, including improper child tax credit claims, unreported gig and side income, improper home office deductions, incorrectly claiming the earned income tax credit, and failing to report cryptocurrency income. She explains the difference between an honest tax mistake and tax fraud, why filing exempt every year to avoid withholding is fraud, and what fraud can cost you, from penalties of up to 75% of the unpaid tax to fines of up to $100,000 and prison time. For taxpayers and business owners, the lesson is simple: if it's income, report it, and if you don't qualify, don't claim it. Listen to this episode of IRS War Room: 5 Tax Mistakes That Will Get You Audited By The IRS Key Takeaways: A mistake and fraud are not the same thing. An honest error is one thing, but knowingly withholding information or filling out forms incorrectly to get a benefit is fraud. That includes filing exempt every year just to avoid federal withholding. All income has to be reported, 1099 or not. Gig work like Uber and Instacart, eBay sales, and other side income all belong on your return, even if no 1099 was issued. The IRS is going to find out. The home office deduction requires exclusive business use. Overstating the square footage inflates your deduction, and claiming a shared family space as business only is intentional deception. If the room isn't used exclusively for business, don't take the deduction. Tax credits come with clear qualification rules. The child tax credit and the earned income tax credit have defined criteria for who qualifies and how much they can claim. If you fall outside those rules, claiming the credit puts you at risk of tax fraud. Crypto is income, and it needs to be reported. The IRS has decided virtual currency counts as income. Unreported transactions can lead to interest, penalties, and in some cases criminal charges, so work with a tax professional who actually knows current tax law. Key Points: 00:00 Introduction00:58 What tax fraud actually is01:43 Why filing exempt every year is fraud02:01 Penalties for committing tax fraud02:30 Mistake #1: improper child tax credit claims03:09 Mistake #2: failing to report all your income03:39 Why no 1099 does not mean no reporting04:08 Mistake #3: improper home office deductions04:48 When a home office claim becomes fraud04:48 Mistake #4: incorrectly claiming the earned income tax credit05:26 Who qualifies for the earned income tax credit06:16 Mistake #5: failing to report crypto income06:32 The IRS decided crypto is income07:30 Why your tax preparer needs to know tax law08:04 Final takeaways Melinda Tolbert, EA, is the CEO of MJ Tax Relief Group and a nationally recognized expert in IRS collections and payroll tax issues.

She explains why investigators compare PPP applications, tax returns, Forms 941, payroll records, bank records, loan certifications, and spending activity when fraud is suspected. For business owners and tax professionals, the lesson is simple: every document needs to tell the same story.
