This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity theft for the purpose of committing tax refund fraud occurs when an individual uses another person's name and Taxpayer Identification Number (generally a Social Security Number (SSN)) to file a fraudulent tax return and obtain a fraudulent tax refund. This report determined whether the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is improving its assistance to victims of identity theft. It includes a response from the IRS, which notes that this report is specific to those identity theft cases in which the victims were due a refund. These are the cases in which the timeframe for resolution is the most critical.. This report concludes that identity theft victims continue to experience long delays in having their tax accounts resolved; processes are not effective to ensure that tax accounts are correctly resolved, resulting in delayed and incorrect refunds; and the information reported for case processing and resolution time is misleading.

This book was released on 2011-03-05 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statement of James R. White, Dir., Strategic Issues, GAO. Identity theft is a serious and growing problem in the U.S. Taxpayers are harmed when identity thieves file fraudulent tax documents using stolen names and Social Security numbers. In 2010 alone, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) identified over 245,000 identity theft incidents that affected the tax system. The hundreds of thousands of taxpayers with tax problems caused by identity theft represent a small percentage of the expected 140 million individual returns filed, but for those affected, the problems can be quite serious. GAO was asked to describe, among other things, (1) when IRS detects identity theft based refund and employment fraud, (2) the steps IRS has taken to resolve, detect, and prevent innocent taxpayers' identity theft related problems, and (3) constraints that hinder IRS's ability to address these issues.This testimony is based on GAO's previous work on identity theft, which was updated by examining data on identity theft cases and interviewing IRS officials.

This book was released on 2013-12-08 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity theft is a serious and growing problem which has a significant impact on tax administration. Undetected tax refund fraud results in significant unintended Federal outlays and erodes taxpayer confidence in the Federal tax system. This audit examined whether the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has improved its programs and procedures to identify and prevent fraudulent tax refunds resulting from identity theft. It found that expanded identity theft detection efforts are helping identify fraudulent tax returns. However, billions of dollars in potential fraudulent refunds continue to be paid, totaling approx. $3.6 billion, which is down by $1.6 billion compared to the $5.2 billion in fraudulent tax refunds reported for Tax Year 2010. The report also shows that the IRS has still not taken actions to prevent multiple tax refunds from being deposited to the same bank account, providing identity thieves with an easy method to obtain fraudulent tax refunds.

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.
