Tax Refund Fraud

Prevention

Last fiscal year we requested additional information on 203,000 returns and denied or reduced refunds on

approximately 60,000 refunds.

By verifying information on tax returns before issuing the refunds, we prevented a total of over $42 million in

fraudulent and erroneous refunds from being issued.
