Wisconsin — Personal Income Tax — Fraud alert

These include telephone calls and e-mails asking for bank account and Social Security numbers in order to complete processing of the taxpayers' economic stimulus payments or tax refunds. Newer versions involve e-mails or telephone calls informing taxpayers that they are being audited or that there are uncashed checks that have been sent to them. Neither the IRS nor the Department of Revenue send unsolicited e-mails to taxpayers, and no separate applications are needed for tax refunds or stimulus payments.
