What? In order to get a refund, that means you have to overpaid what you owe. It's pretty simple. If you are not putting in enough, the fraudster cannot get a refund as you still owe. Like, where is the break down? They would have to know how much you have paid, and then file so many deductions that it'd probably trigger an audit. If you file that many audits not with an account signing off of them, I could only imagine that would trigger an audit as well. Then again, the IRS has been beaten so badly that they barely have enough employees to function.
- smallmancontrov 6mo agoWhy would a scammer be discouraged by the possibility that the person they have chosen to steal from might get audited?
- dylan604 6mo agoAn audit would mean the refund is not automatically sent.
- smallmancontrov 6mo agoNope. Audits don't block refunds, they are an asynchronous process.
- ralph84 6mo agoThe fraudster claims that you installed energy efficient home improvements that qualify for the max $3,200 tax credit. Now that $1,000 in tax owed is a $2,200 refund. Maybe you get audited, but the IRS is certainly not auditing everyone who claims a tax credit.
