Beware the fake “Form 1098-SR” scam targeting seniors—officials in Sonoma County confirm it’s a total hoax with no federal backing. This bogus form promises property tax relief and school bond avoidance, but the IRS doesn’t recognize it—and county offices will never ask for your personal info over the phone or online. California does offer real help: Prop 13 caps annual tax hikes, Prop 19 lets eligible homeowners transfer tax basis, and seniors may qualify for exemptions or postponement programs through official channels. Always verify tax info directly with your county assessor—don’t fall for unsolicited offers promising easy money or tax breaks.
