These scams target HR and accounting professionals, consumers and charities to name a few. The old adage if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. If you have questions about a potential tax avoidance strategy or the legitimacy of a charity, work with your tax professional, bookeeper and lawyer to evaluate an offer. It will save money in the long run.
