Book excerpt: Tax refund fraud associated with identity theft (IDT) continues to be an evolving threat, one that imposes a serious financial and emotional toll on honest taxpayers and threatens the integrity of the tax administration system. Within the tax system, IDT refund fraud occurs when a refund-seeking identity thief files a fraudulent tax return using a legitimate taxpayer's identifying information. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) estimates that millions of IDT refund fraud attempts claiming tens of billions of dollars in fraudulent refunds occurred in 2013. IDT refund fraud also creates administrative costs: In 2014, IRS has approx. 3,000 people working on cases of IDT victims -- more than twice the number of people working on these cases in 2011. IRS recognized refund fraud and IDT as a major challenge affecting the agency in its recently issued strategic plan. This report examines (1) what IRS knows about the extent of IDT refund fraud; and (2) additional actions IRS can take to combat IDT refund fraud using third-party information from, for ex., employers and financial institutions.

Download or read book Identity Theft and Tax Fraud written by United States. Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-23 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IRS estimates that, in 2014, it prevented or recovered $22.5 billion in attempted IDT refund fraud, but paid $3.1 billion in fraudulent IDT refunds. Because of the difficulties in knowing the amount of undetected fraud, the actual amount could differ from these point estimates. IDT refund fraud occurs when a refund-seeking fraudster obtains an individual's identifying information and uses it to file a fraudulent tax return. Despite IRS's efforts to identify and prevent IDT refund fraud, this crime is an evolving and costly problem. GAO was asked to examine IRS's efforts to combat IDT refund fraud. This report (1) evaluates the performance of IRS's TPP and (2) assesses IRS's efforts to improve its estimates of IDT refund fraud costs for 2014. GAO recommends that IRS update its TPP risk assessment and take appropriate actions to mitigate risks identified in the assessment. GAO also recommends that IRS improve its IDT cost estimates by removing refund thresholds and using return-level data where available.

This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.

Download or read book Escaping Jurassic Government written by Donald F. Kettl and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why big government is not the problem. The Progressive government movement, founded on support from Republicans and Democrats alike, reined in corporate trusts and improved the lives of sweatshop workers. It created modern government, from the Federal Reserve to the nation’s budgetary and civil service policies, and most of the programs on which we depend. Ask Americans today and they will tell you that our government has hit a wall of low performance and high distrust, with huge implications for governance in the country. Instead of a focus on government effectiveness, the movement that spawned the idea of government for the people has become known for creating a big government disconnected from citizens. Donald F. Kettl finds that both political parties have contributed to the decline of the Progressive ideal of a commitment to competence. They have both fed gridlock and created a government that does not work the way citizens expect and deserve. Kettl argues for a rebirth of the original Progressive spirit, not in pursuit of bigger government but with a bipartisan dedication to better government, one that works on behalf of all citizens and that delivers services effectively. He outlines the problems in today’s government, including political pressures, proxy tools, and managerial failures. Escaping Jurassic Government details the strategies, evidence, and people that can strengthen governmental effectiveness and shut down gridlock.
