I.R.S. sent 46 million dollars in 29 thousand refund checks to one address

That's right the I.R.S. sent over 46 million dollars in 29 thousand refund checks to one address.

The Internal Revenue Service sent 23,994 tax refunds worth a combined $46,378,040 to “unauthorized” alien workers who all used the same address in Atlanta, Ga., in 2011, according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).
The IRS sent 11,284 refunds worth a combined $2,164,976 to Atlanta address; 3,608 worth $2,691,448 to a third; and 2,386 worth $1,232,943 to a fourth.
 here are a few more:
Oxnard, Calif, where the IRS sent 2,507 refunds worth $10,395,874
 Raleigh, North Carolina,  IRS sent 2,408 refunds worth $7,284,212
 Phoenix, Ariz., where the IRS sent 2,047 refunds worth $5,558,608
 Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., where the IRS sent 1,972 refunds worth $2,256,302
 San Jose, Calif., where the IRS sent 1,942 refunds worth $5,091,027
Arvin, Calif., where the IRS sent 1,846 refunds worth $3,298,877
Since 1996, the IRS has issued what it calls Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to two classes of persons: 1) non-resident aliens who have a tax liability in the United States, and 2) aliens living in the United States who are “not authorized to work in the United States.”
feel good about this system now.

A recently released report shows widespread tax fraud in connection with the federal government’s Individual Taxpayer Identification Number program.
The U.S. Treasury inspector general report accuses the IRS of discouraging employees from reviewing applications for the ID numbers, which are generally from non-resident workers.
The inspector general specifically said there were 154 mailing addresses that were used 1,000 or more times on applications, including 15,795 numbers assigned to a Phoenix address.
The report, which evaluated the processing year 2011, also found inadequate controls can result in the numbers being assigned to people who have not proved their identity or foreign status, which can result in fraudulent tax returns.
Just how bad is this fraud? Well, including the figure in the headline:
The inspector general also found 10 individual addresses were used for filing 53,994 tax returns and receiving $86.4 million in fraudulent tax refunds. For example, 23,994 tax refunds totaling $46.3 million were issued to an address in Atlanta; and 2,507 tax refunds totaling $10.4 million were issued to an address in Oxnard, Calif.
In addition, the Treasury’s Inspector General for Tax Administration reports found 10 bank accounts received 23,560 tax refunds totaling more than $16 million — including: 2,706 tax refunds issued to a single account totaling $7.3 million.
The report was sent to the IRS on July 16, and released more than three weeks later.
