Beware of scams during tax season

It's tax season so beware of scams.

The IRS is offering advice to help keep you safe.

It says beware of tax-preparers promising large refunds-- based on credits and benefits you've never been able to claim.

Scammers usually search for people who don't have a filing requirement like the elderly or people with low-income.

They also may file a bogus return in someone else's name.

Experts say if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
