You can advise your clients: Never open an attachment or link from an unknown or suspicious source because the email may infect a computer with malware or steal information. The IRS does not send unsolicited emails or request sensitive data via email. If your clients receive suspicious emails that appear to be from a tax software provider or from the IRS, they should forward them to phishing@irs.gov. Access the full IRS bulletin here, and be sure to review other fraud and security articles on the Intuit® ProConnect™ Tax Pro Center.
