WI Dept of Revenue Warns Senior Homeowners About Viral Property Tax Scam

The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) is warning homeowners about a viral online video promoting a nonexistent federal property tax relief program.

The video claims that Congress passed a law providing significant property tax relief for older homeowners, enabling seniors to freeze or reduce property taxes. Viewers are directed to contact their county assessor and request a "Senior Homeowner Tax Review Request" or "IRS Form 1098-SR."

DOR warns that no such federal program or form exists and the contact information provided to homeowners directs them to scammers, not their county assessors.

According to DOR, this is an AI-generated video designed to trick seniors into sharing Social Security numbers and banking details or paying fees for nonexistent filing services. DOR noted that property taxes are handled exclusively by local and state governments, not the federal government.
