Is there anything called federal student tax? Got a call from the IRS and then 911 yesterday. I'm scared.


Davensmith8 is absolutely right - there is nothing on earth called the federal student tax. If you’ve been called for paying your federal student tax, then it’s a SCAM. The IRS tax scams are growing like a wildfire and the IRS is constantly making us aware of this.

Here I’d like to shift your attention on few points - first, the IRS would never ask you to transfer money through some untraceable medium or suggest you a specific mode of payment; second, they’ll send you a letter first if you owe them money; third, they’ll never demand immediate payment; and fourth, they won’t threaten you to bring the cops if you don’t listen to them.

If you get such calls take the following steps -


  • Hung up immediately.

  • Report the call to the FTC without any delay. Call FTC's Consumer Response Center at 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). To file a complaint online go to ftc.gov/complaint.

  • Call the IRS at 800-829-1040 and verify the matter.

  • Report the call to Treasury Inspector General Administration (TIGTA). Call at 800-366-4484.

  • Make your friends, family, and relatives aware of it. They might be the next victim.



Hope you’re benefitted.
