The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced the 12 biggest tax scams for 2008. They are:

1. Phishing
2. Scams related to the economic stimulus package
3. Frivolous arguments
4. Fuel tax credit scams
5. Hiding income offshore
6. Abusive retirement plans
7. Zero wages
8. False claims for refund and requests for abatement
9. Return preparer fraud
10. Disguised corporate ownership
