This one just popped into my inbox this morning. Looks very official. But if you just hold your cursor over the "click me" link, you can see it DOES NOT go anywhere near the IRS. This is a phishing scam. Delete immediately.

Another way to tell that an email is not official. It is NOT addressed directly to you and does not use your full name in the body of the email (official emails from government agencies, eBay, Amazon, etc will all include your full contact information within the body of the email).

Thanks Kona.

Before you delete it you should also forward it to spam@uce.gov.
