Kansas Department of Revenue

TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Revenue has received reports of a tax scam targeting Kansans.

The callers all say that the recipient has a tax debt with the state of Kansas and push the recipient to pay the debt using a debit card or money order and threaten jail. The recipients were also told they failed to file a Form 61, which does not exist for the state of Kansas.

The calls show up on caller ID as a valid Department of Revenue number, 785-296-0671, which connects to the department’s Public Information Officer.

If taxpayers receive a call and are unsure if it is fraudulent or not, they should call the department’s tax customer service line 785-368-8222.
