I agree with Tracy.. When you steal from our government, you are stealing from all citizens.. These people do not consider defrauding the government (all of us) stealing, and will do anything to “get over” on anyone they can..

Don’t people realize when they steal from the government they’re stealing from themselves!! Well, stealing from those of us who actually WORK and CONTRIBUTE!! Get a JOB, morals and self respect!

Customers went along with it because they heard what they wanted to hear. The same mentality that has caused the mortgage problems. Dollars are mentioned and common sense goes out the window.
Stop the EITC or make it non-refundable and most fraud will stop.

This is why you shouldn’t let just anyone prepare your tax return.

You have to give them information that could ruin you, soc.sec. #, home address, date of birth, etc. Any and all could very well be used in false tax returns! Just think of the difficulty it would be to clear this up!

She had to know this was coming. Filing taxes for people with made up dependents… The bad thing is that her customers knew she was making stuff up and went along with it. Why aren’t they charged? They took part in the fraud too.
