IR-2016-45, March 21, 2016
WASHINGTON — As part of the continued crackdown on refund fraud and identity theft, the Internal Revenue Service today released the Top 10 Identity Theft Prosecutions for Fiscal Year 2015. These prosecutions are part of the wide-ranging strategy to combat refund fraud and assist taxpayers through detection, prevention and resolving identity theft cases in a timely manner.
“The IRS continues fighting identity theft on several fronts, including the Security Summit initiative where we have joined with the states and the nation’s tax industry to beef up prevention and detection of fraudulent returns,” said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. “These efforts go hand-in-hand with our important Criminal Investigation work, where our agents continue working to bring identity thieves to justice across the nation.”
