Scams could arise as tax deadline nears

By Kentucky Press News Service

The Kentucky Department of Revenue said it’s reminding taxpayers they have until midnight Monday, April 18 to file their state and federal taxes because federal offices are closed in Washington, DC for the Emancipation Day holiday on April 15.
With the impending deadline, the department and the IRS are also warning taxpayers that email phishing and phone scam tactics may increase and catch some taxpayers off guard.
