But by God if I forget to cross a single ‘T’ or dot a “j” they’ll be crawling up my colon with a microscope.
Federal investigators say an apartment complex in Charlotte played a major role in a $5 million tax fraud scheme. Two women, Candida Mayo Figueroa and Cathy Lee Cisneros, were arrested and charged with coordinating hundreds of bogus tax returns with fake names that flooded into a handful of mailboxes.
The IRS was tipped off after the U.S. Postal Service noticed a flood of “suspicious mailings from the U.S. Treasury Department appearing to contain Treasury checks” hitting the same mailboxes, according to court records.
Investigators tied at least 17 tax returns, totaling more than $62,000 in refunds, to a Charlotte apartment Figueroa leased. At another apartment nearby, investigators discovered 153 returns valued at $713,000 in refunds. Another address in the same apartment complex had 236 returns worth $1.1 million in refunds.
Investigators say the clustered addresses and a bank of mailboxes made for easy access to those refunds. An apartment complex manager told investigators Figueroa was seen taking mail from all three apartment mailboxes.
Down the road at another apartment complex, the tax scheme got bigger, according to investigators, who traced 398 returns to two apartments, totaling more than $1.9 million in additional child tax credits with no guarantee that the children existed or lived in the U.S.

The IRS defended its interpretation of the tax code, which states that illegal immigrants who pay no taxes are eligible for the tax credits. Filtering out who is not eligible is the problem.
I used to drive by a WIC office every day. The curb parking was all taken by client vehicles, primarily late model SUV’s. I couldn’t afford any of them.
24000 at one address. Deliver the refund in the nose cone of a D-5 along with a couple of W-88s.
bkmk
Yep, “undocumented workers pay their taxes” means “illegal aliens have $75 dollars withheld for federal taxes then file a tax return (or MULTIPLE TAX RETURNS) and get $6,000 or $7,000 in tax ‘refunds’ back because of ‘refundable tax credits’”.
What a scam!!
Have the IRS mail refund checks “in care of” the nearest ICE office for folks who file using an ITIN instead of an SSN. Send the filers a notice saying the can go personally to that office to “pick up their check”. Guess what percentage of them won’t be showing up?
What a rip off off taxpayers, if you are not in the country legally, you can not work legally and should have no right to any sort of refund. Hell these people don’t pay taxes to begin with, they 20 dependents and then they steal taxpayer money filing for refunds.
Clinton started this ITIN FRAUD ENABLING SCHEME in 1996. Bush SHOULD have stopped it...but didn’t. Bush’s actions (and inactions) revealed him to be a globalist and, along with most of his family, a defender of the La Raza plans & operations.
DONALD TRUMP SHOULD WORK WITH CONGRESS TO END THIS FRAUD!!
