The IRS will never contact a taxpayer using social media or a text message. The first contact from the IRS usually comes in the mail. Taxpayers who are unsure whether they owe money to the IRS should view their tax account information on IRS.gov. If, after using the “search” feature on this webpage, it doesn't return a result, or the notice or letter looks suspicious, contact the IRS at 800.829.1040. If it is determined the notice or letter is fraudulent, please follow the IRS assistor's guidance or visit the Report Phishing page for next steps.
