“In one example, investigators found a single address in Lansing, Mich., that was used to file 2,137 tax returns. The IRS issued more than $3.3 million in refunds to that address. Three addresses in Florida, the center of the identity theft crisis, filed more than 500 returns totaling more than $1 million in refunds for each address. In another troubling scenario, hundreds of refunds were deposited into the same bank account — a red flag for investigators searching for ID thieves who may be filing for refunds for multiple people. In one instance, the IRS deposited 590 refunds totaling more than $900,000 into one account.”
