The statutory mission of the Iowa Department of Revenue is to serve Iowans and support state government by collecting all taxes required by law, but no more.


Protect your tax information.  Don’t Get Hooked.  Spot the Phish:

 

1.      Check the email address.  Beware of familiar bait.

2.      Generic Salutation -   Vague beginnings cast a wide net.

3.      Bad Grammar and Typos -  Catch and release.

4.      Urgency & Account Threat -  Cast it out.

5.      Too Good to be True  -  Let this one get away.

6.      Disguised or Modified Attachment/Link.  Watch out - it's hard to catch.    

7.      Personal Information - Be suspicious of this lure.
