The IRS Commissioner, Doug Shulman said that the dirty dozen means the worst of the worst scams. Hiding income in foreign countries, identity theft and misleading tax, it all forms the annual list of “dirty dozen” scams. He said that don’t become a victim of these dirty scams, as it may be happiness for a while but it ends up hurting people.

The IRS also revealed that they are working with the US Justice Department in order to sort out illegal scams. The victims of these scams have to experience heavy fines and sometimes imprisonment also; they need to repay all tax due, interest and penalties as well.

The IRS said that suspected tax frauds can be complained to the IRS using Form 3949-A, Information Referral. The complete information with all the required details should be addressed to Internal Revenue Service, Fresno, CA 93888. The information should include everything such as specific information, the activity, the amount of money involved and all the other information which is required for the investigation. IRS promised to keep all the data confidential.

The International Revenue has asked to keep in mind some steps such as file your tax electronically, check identification number, review the figures, check the tax tables, sign and date your return, find the correct mailing address and make checks payable to "United States Treasury”.
