Scammers are heating up for spring ROCKFORD — According to recent reports, more than 20,000 taxpayers have been the target of phone calls from scammers impersonating IRS agents and totaling a loss of more than $1 million. This phone scam is just one of the techniques that scammers use to rip-off unsuspecting consumers. The “dirty dozen” is a list of tax scams that the Better Business Bureau of Chicago and Northern Illinois is warning consumers about.

The phone scam being No. 1, others on the list include: 2. Identity theft — The IRS continues to be overwhelmed by identity theft, which occurs when a fraudster uses someone else’s name and social security number to claim refunds.

3. Phishing — If you receive an e-mail that appears to be from the IRS and asks for personal information, it’s most likely a phishing scam that wants your identity and your money. The IRS does not reach out to taxpayers via email, texts or social media, so relay any such messages to phishing@irs.gov.

4. “Free Money” — Be wary of fliers and ads promising “free money” from the IRS or anyone offering a refund that sounds too good to be true. Some scammers target low-income and elderly people, often through churches, convincing them to claim credits they aren’t entitled to — and even Social Security rebates that don’t exist. These con artists often charge up-front fees and disappear without a trace before the IRS rejects the claims. The victims don’t just lose the scammer’s “fee” — they could also get hit with a $5,000 penalty for making intentional errors on their return.

5. Return preparer fraud — From inventing extra children to stealing identities, some preparers are bad news. Make sure your tax preparer has an IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). If a preparer doesn’t put this number on your tax return as required, or fails to sign the form, that should raise a red flag. And watch out for preparers who base fees on the size of your refund.

6. Hiding income offshore — Don’t let anyone convince you it’s a good idea to hide income abroad. The IRS has been cracking down on taxpayers who do this and has collected billions of dollars in back taxes and penalties from tax cheats since 2009.

7. Fake charities — It’s common for scammers to create fake charities to fraudulently collect money — especially in the wake of disasters. Before giving money to a charity, verify that the organization is legitimate and that your donations will be tax deductible by using the IRS’s Exempt Organizations Select Check. And don’t give cash — use a check or credit card so you have proof of payment.

8. Boosting income or expenses — Getting bigger credits than you deserve can get you in big trouble with the IRS. If you get caught, you’ll have to return

any fraudulent refund and pay interest and penalties on any amount owed.

9. Frivolous arguments — Trying to get out of paying taxes? Here are some arguments that will never work: “Filing a tax return is voluntary”, “only gold-based money is taxable” or “your state isn’t part of the United States.” Anyone who tries to tell you differently can’t be trusted. These are considered frivolous arguments and will be rejected, and you could face a number of penalties.

10. Falsely claiming no income — Taxpayers who fall prey to schemes convincing them to falsely report their taxable income as zero could face a penalty of $5,000.

11. Evading taxes — Some shady investment advisers and tax preparers are creating and promoting complicated tax structures and shelters that clients can use to evade taxes — often involving multiple entities and offshore accounts. If someone has tried to convince you to evade taxes, report the incident using Form 14157.

12. Abuse of trusts — Common schemes recommend you transfer money into trusts to reduce your income and avoid paying taxes. While there are appropriate uses of trusts, the IRS has seen a growing number of people improperly using them. The rules governing trusts can be very complicated, so to avoid getting caught up in an illegal arrangement, the IRS recommends consulting with a tax professional.

“These scams are spreading and consumers need to understand the risk of financial harm that can occur to them by providing personal information and sending money to scammers” says Dennis Horton, director of the Rockford Office of the Better Business Bureau “The best protection is suspicion don’t put your trust in any unknown person who contacts you.”

Tips to avoid being scammed: • Don’t give out your financial information over the phone. The real IRS will not ask for financial information over the phone. Any contact from the IRS will be through direct mail.

• Hang up the phone. If you are being asked for personal and financial information by someone claiming to be an IRS employee, simply hang up.

• If you receive an email, trash it. The IRS will not attempt to contact you through email. If you receive an email from someone claiming to be the IRS, then it is probably a scam. Emails that scammers send may include computer viruses that could harm your computer or access personal information.

• Report the incident. If you are a victim of this scam, report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484. You should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant.” Make sure to add “IRS Telephone Scam” to your comments.

Food court My favorite meal is meatloaf. It’s simple to make, and you can add so many different things to make each one different. I like to make my meatloaf and then make a package of brown gravy and pour around the meatloaf and bake.

It makes the meatloaf so moist.

Meatloaf and Piquant Sauce Meatloaf 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup milk 2/3 cup bread or cracker crumbs 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 1/4 cup chopped onion 1/2 teaspoon sage 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon salt Sauce 6 tablespoons brown sugar 1/2 cup ketchup 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 2 teaspoons dry mustard To prepare meatloaf, beat eggs in small bowl. Add milk and crumbs and stir together with fork. Set aside. In medium bowl, combine ground beef, onion and seasonings. Add milk and crumb mixture and stir well. Pack meatloaf into greased loaf or baking pan. To prepare sauce, combine all ingredients and beat together with a fork. Spread sauce over meatloaf. Bake at 350° for 1 hour.

Cowboy Meat Loaf and Potato Casserole 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef 1 cup frozen chopped onion, thawed 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs 1 egg, slightly beaten 1/4 cup barbecue sauce (Bulls Eye) 1 1.25-ounce packet taco seasoning 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 24-ounce bag frozen cut potatoes (Ore-Ida) 2/3 cup evaporated milk 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 cup real crumbled bacon 1/2 cup French fried onion Salt and ground black pepper 1 cup shredded 4 cheese Mexican cheese blend Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl,

combine ground beef, onions, bread crumbs, beaten egg, barbecue sauce, taco seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Mix thoroughly, then gently press into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until cooked through. Carefully pour off drippings. Meanwhile microwave potatoes according to package directions in a medium bowl, mash cooked potatoes, with milk and butter. Stir in bacon and fried onions. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread over meat loaf to the edges of pan, sprinkle with cheese.

Return to oven for 15 minutes. Slice and serve.

Summer Camp Information Princeton Theatre Group announces summer camps PRINCETON — Learning Stage, the education committee of Princeton Theatre Group, has announced two summer programs which together will provide youth from Grades K-12 the opportunity to experience and participate in live performances, while immersing themselves in the many aspects of bringing a show into production. Both programs are being mounted in cooperation with Festival 56, which this summer marks its 11th season of bringing outstanding professional theater to local audiences.

Camp 56, to be held weekdays from June 23 through July 3, returns to mark its fourth consecutive year of providing a theater-based day camp for young people of primary and middle school age. Once again, camp director Lisa Gadomski will engage campers in a series of fun-filled activities including song, dance, make-up, costuming and visits to and with Festival sets, cast and crew. The culmination of their camping experience will be their on-stage appearances in the Festival’s production of “Oliver!”

Camp staff will be on hand at the Grace Center box office, 316 S. Main St. in Princeton, on April 26 to accept registrations, which can subsequently be made when the Festival box office officially opens on May 5. The cost to enroll is $100 per camper.

Financial assistance may be available to those who demonstrate financial need.

Theatre Boot Camp is the re-introduction, after several years’ absence, of a program for highschool aged students with an interest in the dramatic arts. Running for six days beginning July 7, under the direction of Festival 56 co-founder Laura Brigham, the program will combine an opportunity for campers to hone their own performance skills while expanding their understanding of the dramatic arts through exposure to a variety of theatre professionals. The participants will attend three Festival 56 productions, appear in a Festival cabaret and stage their own showcase performance on the final day of camp.

The $250 fee includes theater tickets, daily lunches, Friday night dinner and a chaperoned overnight stay at the conclusion of the cabaret. A limited number of partial scholarships are available to those who demonstrate financial need.

Registration material may be accessed on-lined at www.festival56.com.

Camp 56 and Theatre Boot Camp are being fund by grants and contributions from the DuPont Pioneer Giving Program, Sun Foundation and Illinois Valley Fine Arts Trust (courtesy of the Illinois Arts Council), Church Women United and other local donors, including St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church and Open Prairie United Church of Christ.

Inquiries may be directed to learningstage@festival56.com.
