Top Should I respond to an IRS email? Absolutely not. The IRS will never contact you via email. The email that you receive that appears to be from the IRS is actually sent by "scamsters" which are trying to trick unsuspecting victims into revealing their personal financial information. Usually the victim is lured in by the promise of a tax refund. If you receive an email that appears to be from the IRS you should forward it to the Service at their new mailbox at phishing@irs.gov.
