SALT LAKE CITY -- As the 2018 deadline to file federal taxes approaches, the number of scams by people pretending to be associated with the IRS goes up.

The Utah State Tax Commission says the “red flags” found within these types of calls are often missed by the elderly, young adults, and people for whom English is a second language.
