This is crucial advice. I work in tax preparation and the number of scams has increased 300% since last year. Never share your information with anyone claiming to be IRS agents on social media - the IRS will never contact you through DMs or social platforms.

Speaking of staying safe, I've been using taxr.ai to check my transcripts. Only costs $1 and its a secure way to actually understand whats going on with your refund. Way better than sharing screenshots online https://taxr.ai
