Be on alert: A wave of scam text messages has emerged, falsely claiming to be from MVD or other state agencies. Find more information at www.mvd.newmexico.gov/contact-us/p....
A scam alert message from the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division that reads: A new wave of scam text messages has emerged, falsely claiming to be from MVD or other state government agencies demanding payments for outstanding highway tolls. New Mexico does not operate any toll roads within state boundaries and will never request toll payments. Additionally, the MVD does not contact customers via text, email or phone call to issue threats or demand payment. Any such message is fraudulent, and New Mexicans are encouraged not to respond, click on links, scan QR codes or share any personal or financial information. The fraudulent text messages may also contain links to fake websites imitating official state websites. The only official MVD website is located at https://www.mvd.newmexico.gov/. A scam alert message from the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division with two screenshot examples of scam text messages. A scam alert message from the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division that reads: Text message scams may come from out-of-state phone numbers or be delivered to a batch of recipients in one group text. You may report fraudulent text messages to your phone carrier. If a caller is threatening you, contact local law enforcement. MVD will only contact customers by mail on official letterhead and will always provide remedies and contact information to fix the issue. If you ever question authenticity, contact MVD at https://www.mvd.newmexico.gov/ or by calling 1-888-683-4636.

New Mexico offers several refundable tax credits. That means you get a refund even if you don't owe state taxes. Find out more at www.tax.newmexico.gov.
A graphic from the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department with a decorative image of a piggy bank. An image of a dictionary has the following text: "refundable tax credit n (pl. ~s) A credit you can get as a refund even if you don't owe any tax." Below that, not on the dictionary, additional text says: "Tax credits are amounts you subtract from your bottom-line tax due when you file your tax return. Most tax credits can reduce your tax only until it reaches $0. Refundable credits go beyond that to give you any remaining credit as a refund. That's why it's best to file taxes even if you don't have to. Many people who qualify for refundable credits miss out on refunds because they don't file."
