Muawiyah, either you didn’t read the article, or you are posting to the wrong thread. The lady who committed this fraud didn’t create fake employees—she committed identity theft and filed 2000 individual returns in order to collect the refunds using fake ID.

it's the same thing ~ she didn't actually tap into their real life accounts ~ just used their names and social security numbers to trick IRS' system into sending her refunds!

This whole thing was fake from beginning to end. It'd all worked the same if she'd just made up Social Security numbers.

Your original concern was that it'd be less costly with less risk to just give yourself a dividend than to create a fake employee ~ after all, there are all the deductions for FICA, withholding, insurance, health care, state taxes, city taxes, etc.

This woman is an example of what i was discussing ~ they just create a fake person that looks real for a second to the IRS computers, and they get REFUNDS ~ they, themselves, never pay the government a dime!
