It was revealed today that about 1300 prison inmates received tax credits for being first time home buyers last year. Obviously, the inmates did not buy homes, but they claimed the credits nonetheless and got them. Over 14,000 people received over 26 million dollars of credits improperly. One house was found that was used by 67 different taxpayers to claim the credit.
Nice work IRS. Wouldn't it be easier to just put the money in bags and hide it around the country. That would give everyone an even chance to find the cash, not just the crooks.
