A client just received the email copied below. PLEASE understand, the IRS will NEVER make first contact via email – or phone – ALWAYS SNAIL MAIL. The IRS will not email you unless they absolutely have no other way to contact you and ONLY if they had contacted you about the EXACT issue already once before. I copied the email exactly as my client received it, note the bad use of proper English, sentence structure, spelling, and grammar. Here’s what my client received:
