The Internal Revenue Service wants business owners to beware of companies using aggressive tactics while promising access to grant funds related to COVID-19 relief. Lauren Winebrenner with the IRS spoke to Wake Up Tri-Counties on Tuesday to talk about how not all businesses qualify for the grants being pushed by these aggressive companies that make promises about eligibility. The reality is, you can go directly to IRS.gov and find out about your businesses grant eligibility and you can do so without having to pay an outside company to help you. Thus, if your business does qualify for a grant, you won’t have to spend part of it on some unnecessary third party. Lauren Winebrenner talked about this topic and several others from the annual IRS Dirty Dozen tax scams and how to avoid them.
