No argument there T, but the electronic reporting and filing system has an ATM for thieves, sadly.
The Earned Income Credit has long been a feeding ground for thieves.... and their accountants and return preparers

As a point of clarification, the TIGTA and the IRS are both components of the Treasury Dept. Nevertheless, the TIGTA along with the Taxpayer Advocates Office play a very necessary watchdog role on behalf of the citizens. And that is a good thing.
