IRS Sent $7,319,518 in Refunds to One Bank Account Used by 2,706 Aliens
2013-06-25
The Internal Revenue Service sent $7,319,518 in tax refunds in 2011 to what theoretically were 2,706 aliens who were not authorized to work inside the United States and who all used the same bank account, according to an audit report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.

Since 1996, the IRS has issued what it calls Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to two classes of persons: 1) non-resident aliens who have a tax liability in the United States, and 2) aliens living in the United States who are “not authorized to work in the United States.”

The 2,706 tax refunds worth a combined $7,319,518 that the IRS sent to a single bank account in 2011 were all paid on tax returns that used Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers.

#6  Surprising that in the Age of Big Data they don't look for such things (hint: it's not complicated).

#4  CNSNews.com asked the Office of the Treasury Inspector General if these bank accounts were in the United States. A spokesman said TIGTA did not look at that issue.

Who's bank account did this money eventually end up in. Tribute money for passing the immigration reform law?

#2  Well, we already knew we had a banking problem in this country. Recently we've discovered an IRS problem as well. Tracking that account and where those dollars ended up might be very interesting. Can't say I am very surprised by any of this.

And thus, Virginia, we learn once again why God invented self-justified, [Creeping] OWG Global Totalitarian Communism.
