IRS sends $46 million to 24K 'unauthorized' aliens at 1 address
IRS refund of $46 mil to 24k unauthorized aliens at 1 address

If you make an oversight while paying your taxes to the IRS, you better believe you’ll be audited, harshly fined, and held completely accountable. Meanwhile, in 2011, the IRS accidentally sent more than $46 million in refunds to 23,994 "unauthorized" alien workers. And they sent it all to one Atlanta address.

This is coming to light thanks to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) audit report, which exposes the bureau’s gross oversight while administering refunds to undocumented workers to "improve nonresident alien compliance with tax laws." The IRS sent millions in refunds to tens of thousands of supposed "unauthorized" workers, who were listed at just 154 addresses. Glad our money is in the hands of these math geniuses. [Source]
