We received this information from the IRS concerning emails that are currently being sent out.  Please be cautious as always about opening any email from anyone you don’t know, and understand that the IRS NEVER sends unsolicited emails!

The subject of the message falsely informs recipients that they have under-reported their incomes, resulting in fraud. The body of the email contains a link inviting users to review their tax statement on the IRS website. If they click on the link, victims are directed to a mock website that contains additional links. If they then click on one of those, a trojan is downloaded. The best thing you can do is delete the email. The IRS does not send unsolicited emails.
