WASHINGTON – Ahead of the April 15th deadline for tax filing, Joint Economic Committee Chairman David Schweikert (R-AZ), Ranking Member Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Vice Chairman Eric Schmitt (R-MO), and Senior House Democrat Don Beyer (D-VA) issued a bipartisan alert today warning Americans about common tax season scams. These scams have become increasingly common, especially with emerging AI tactics, and nearly one in four Americans have reported being victimized by a tax scam. In the new alert, the Joint Economic Committee leaders call attention to the increasing scale and sophistication of tax scams and provide consumers with practical tips on how to spot common scams and protect themselves.
