IRS Denies Rumors of New Stimulus Payments Amidst Scams and Proposals

Some people online are talking about getting new money from the government, like $1,390 or $2,000, soon.

But the IRS, the government's tax office, says this is not true.

The last time the government sent out special money like this was a while ago, and the final deadline to get some of that money has already passed.

These rumors might be confusing because sometimes states send out their own money, or old news gets shared again.

There's also talk about a plan for money from tariffs, but that's just an idea for now and hasn't been approved.

Be very careful because some people try to trick you by pretending to be from the IRS to steal your information.

The IRS only contacts people through official letters first, not texts or emails.

Always check with the IRS directly if you hear about new money.
