Phone calls from 253-661-4279

Washington taxpayers who received a call from this Department of Revenue phone number are wondering if it's a scam. It's not!


Why you received this call

We use an automated dialing system to call business owners who have excise tax returns that are past due. The system leaves a generic message for the business owner so that confidential taxpayer information can't be shared with the wrong person.


What to do if you get a message

Log in to My DOR and file and pay the missing excise tax return. If you need assistance or can't pay, call us back 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.


Direct calls from Revenue agents to taxpayers

A Revenue agent may call you directly, and leave a message asking you to call back. This type of message is usually more specific, asking for the business owner, corporate officer, or LLC member to return the call.


What to do if you get a call but you don't own a business

Please return our call and provide the phone number where the message was left so we can update our records.
