Who Needs to Stop Prisoner Tax Fraud?

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Via Joe Kristan this morning comes word that the IRS is spending millions to regulate law-abiding tax professionals, but is doing very little to stop tax fraud by prisoners.

You are forcing practitioners to spend millions of dollars and hours in pointless paperwork on pain of being put out of business. Meanwhile, you let actual criminals — in prison — steal millions by filing fraudulent tax returns

There’s much more, including the results of an audit by TIGTA, and the fact that the IRS is not sending information about prisoners committing tax fraud to prison officials.
