⚠️ Important IRS Notice Alert ⚠️

You may hear about IRS CP53E notices, so we wanted to share a little info on them with you. Some notices are legitimate, but scammers are also sending convincing fakes.

Here's what’s real:
- CP53E is a legitimate IRS notice tied to a tax refund issue with direct deposit information.
- The IRS sends these notices by U.S. mail.
- Some real notices may include QR codes—but it’s best practice not to use them.

Play it safe:
- Don’t scan QR codes or click links, even if the notice looks official.
- Don’t respond by text, email, or phone.
- Avoid any website that isn’t IRS.gov.

What you should do instead:
- Type IRS.gov directly into your browser.
- Log into your secure IRS account to verify and respond.
- If unsure, wait—legitimate refunds will still be issued if no action is taken.
- Reach out to your tax professional for additional guidance.
