I recieved an email from the IRS and I wanted to know if this is a real email from them. Can you help?
After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $116.40. Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 6-9 days in order to process it.

A refund can be delayed for a variety of reasons. For example submitting invalid records or applying after the deadline.

Phishing and ID Theft

IRS Warns Taxpayers of New E-mail Scams
 
Updated Sept. 19, 2007 — Another recent e-mail scam tells taxpayers that the IRS has calculated their "fiscal activity" and that they are eligible to receive a tax refund of a certain amount. Taxpayers receive a page of, or are sent to, a Web site (titled "Get Your Tax Refund!") that copies the appearance of the genuine "Where's My Refund?" interactive page on the genuine IRS Web site. Like the real "Where's My Refund?" page, taxpayers are asked to enter their SSNs and filing status. However, the phony Web page asks taxpayers to enter their credit card account numbers instead of the exact amount of refund as shown on their tax return, as the real "Where's My Refund?" page does. Moreover, the IRS does not send e-mails to taxpayers to advise them of refunds or to request financial information.

1. never heard of IRS using email
2. They know your ssn, so DON'T give it to anyone
3. report this mail to FBI Cyber fraud division.

Be careful and Good Luck

No, it's a scam - see http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=170894,00.html

It's a phishing scam. The IRS does not send emails. They prefer to send lots and lots of paper in regular mail.

If you were due an additional refund, you would also not have to fill out a form. You would get a notice via regular mail and a check.

IRS privacy rules forbid them from emailing anything confidential. The only things that an IRS person can email is a generic publication that can be downloaded off their website, even if you are a CPA or attorney and are working with them on a matter. The email you got is "phishing" which is something they have tried to warn people about.

the IRS only contacts people with official nasty looking IRS letters printed on paper in scary envelopes - don't click on any links - they will steal your soul

It's got to be a scam, but I'd call them. The IRS shouldn't have your email address, and they won't get it from your work either, simply because they don't care, and email addresses can be changed so frequently, and are very insecure. They have your mailing address and phone number and they use those two methods because they are more secure, personal, and confidential.

I would check out Google searching IRS email scams, I found tons.


genntri
if it is by email then yes it is a scam

It's hard to say... I would contact someone with the IRS the link below has their contact info.. something smells fishy, and you don't want to give away your SSN to just anyone.
