Warning to Taxpayers With Unfiled Taxes or Who Owe Back Taxes

A woman in Connecticut says she checked her bank account only to find out all of her money was gone and wants to warn others so it does not happen to them.

This particular incident was with the State of Connecticut, however taxpayers should know that the same thing can happen with the Internal Revenue Service.  Taxpayers have the option for a payment plan if they owe taxes which they don't have the money to pay.

Ignoring notices from the IRS or any State tax agency is never a good idea.  Of course if you never receive the notices, that can create a problem.  Always be sure the IRS has a current address for you.  If you have a bank account or a job, "they" can find your money, even if they can't find you.
