WASHINGTON — As part of a special Security Summit series, the Internal Revenue Service, state tax agencies and nation's tax industry warn tax professionals to beware of evolving scams designed to steal client data.

The criminals then trick practitioners into opening email links or attachments that infect computer systems with the potential to steal client information.
