Dear Conservative Friend,
Just as no one in the IRS was held accountable for their failing to grant tax-exempt statuses to pro-Conservative organizations, NO ONE in the Internal Revenue Service Management is being held ACCOUNTABLE for over $4,000,000,000 (4 billion dollars) being refunded to identity thieves! It is a government outrage; yet no one is held responsible!
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) reported that 1.6 million Americans were victims of ID theft/tax refund crimes this year, just through the first ONE-HALF of the year 2013!
Russell George, the TIGTA’s head, says: “Identity theft is a growing epidemic!”
In spite of the IRS refunding $4 Billion to Identity Thieves, NO IRS Manager is Held Accountable! People who used stolen identities in the year 2012 had over $4 BILLION in fraudulent tax refunds.
Get this: Some of the monies went to addresses in Lithuania, Bulgaria, and Ireland, according to the Inspector General’s report. 655 tax refunds to ONE single address in Lithuania ($220,489) and 343 refunds were mailed to a SINGLE address in Shanghai ($156,533)! Unbelievable!
In most American businesses, there are many “safeguards” set up to guard against abuse of this nature. But the federal government: of course not! And thieves are literally playing with YOUR taxpayer’s money! YOU!
Yet no one in the Internal Revenue Service is being held accountable!
Mr. George admits: The fraud “erodes taxpayer confidence in the federal tax system!” Oh, really! Well then, what is the IRS doing about it?? NOTHING! Tell Congress!
He declares: “Identity theft continues to be a serious problem with devastating consequences for taxpayers and an enormous impact on tax administration.”
Towns in the United States lead the list of IRS fraud: Miami (38,000 fraudulent refunds totaling $147 Million), Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and Houston. Catch this: ONE address in Orlando received 580 tax refunds to the tune of $870,000 last year, reports the Inspector General. Another address in Orlando received 291 refunds totaling $466,000! How in the world can this be? Some things must be immediately changed!
In 2012, the IRS issued over 1,100,000 tax refunds to people using stolen taxpayer identification numbers, which totaled over $385,000,000, according to the Inspector General. Is our government “stupid?”
Fax Congress Now - they must address this right away!
One “glimmer of hope” from the report states that the IRS issued $5.2 billion in refunds to people who stole Social Security numbers in 2011; while the 2012 figure is “only” $3.6 billion! That part of the report captured the eye of U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL), where the abuse is most lucrative, who said: “While these reports show that some progress is being made in reducing tax fraud, it’s also clear that there is still much to be done and there are still a number of improvements that need to be made to protect both taxpayers and the U.S. Treasury.” Again: Oh, really!
Why isn’t ANYONE being held accountable for your taxpayer dollar waste? That is the same question we want to ask Members of Congress!
In spite of the IRS refunding $4 Billion to Identity Thieves, NO IRS Manager is Held Accountable! Let Congress know they must hold down the IRS Epidemic! Fax Congress to help rebuild American’s confidence!
Just one part of the “IRS Fraud Story” is that ILLEGAL immigrants received $4.2 BILLION from the IRS for Child Tax Credits, WATCHDOG reported. Now, the IRS allows undocumented residents to collect the $1,000 credits for dependents NOT EVEN LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

However, Senate Leader Harry Reid absolutely refuses to bring the bill up before the Democratic Senate. The House of Representative bill, ALREADY PASSED BY THE HOUSE, could save U.S. taxpayers—YOU---up to $24.4 billion over the next 10 years!
It’s called “The Refundable Child Tax Credit Eligibility Verification Reform Act” or H.R. 556. This bill, passed by the House, requires tax filers to provide Social Security numbers to claim child tax credits.
But it is not even brought up in the Senate because Democrats need those Hispanic votes!
In spite of the IRS refunding $4 Billion to Identity Thieves, NO IRS Manager is Held Accountable! Let Congress know they must hold down the IRS Epidemic! Fax Congress to help rebuild American’s confidence!
Let your voices and votes be heard - Fax Congress today!
Sincerely,
Joe Otto
