The Internal Revenue Service warned taxpayers today to be on the lookout for a new scam mailing that tries to mislead people into believing they are owed a refund.

The new scheme involves a mailing coming in a cardboard envelope from a delivery service. The enclosed letter includes the IRS masthead and wording that the notice is "in relation to your unclaimed refund."

The Internal Revenue Service provided details today clarifying the federal tax status involving special payments made by 21 states in 2022.

Please read the entirety of this letter to ensure that you fully understand the available resources and requirements to have your tax return filed timely and efficiently.
