CLIKC THE SPAM BUTTON ASAP. THE IRS WOULD NEVER SEND ANYTHING LIKE THAT VIVA EMAIL.

Absolutely DO NOT give any information to the sender of that email. If you really think it's the IRS, go online and find a number for the IRS and call them and ask if there is any validity to the email, I can almost guarantee they'll tell you there is not. It's a scammer trying to steal your identity.

Everyone else on here is correct. It IS a scam. I would contact the IRS and ask them directly if you're truly concerned they need that info.

The IRS will not contact you via email. Report the email to the FBI at www.ic3.gov. This is a scam in which you give your account information and the scammers take your money. You rarely, if ever, get something for nothing. Do not reponed to the email. At least delete it, but you should also report it.

Dont delete it. Contact your local law enforcement agency so that they can track it and bring down the scam artists that are committing a felony in trying to steal money from your account under false pretenses. Also, keep in mind that the federal gov't rarely deals with anyone by internet. You can't even file your taxes electronically without sending in a paper signature!

And I hope you hit the “delete” button. Hint: The Internal Revenue Service Headquarters Building is in Washington D.C., Not Lagos, Nigeria.

Don't give the sender any of that info and mark the email as spam. The real IRS already has that info so there's no way that they'd be asking you for it.

It's called phishing and if you think you'll EVER get something for nothing from the IRS, you deserve to get scammed! Delete and report as spam.
