(CNSNews.com) - 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).

That was not the only Atlanta address theoretically used by thousands of “unauthorized” alien workers receiving millions in federal tax refunds in 2011. In fact, according to a TIGTA audit report published last year, four of the top ten addresses to which the IRS sent thousands of tax refunds to “unauthorized” aliens were in Atlanta.

The IRS sent 11,284 refunds worth a combined $2,164,976 to unauthorized alien workers at a second Atlanta address; 3,608 worth $2,691,448 to a third; and 2,386 worth $1,232,943 to a fourth.

Other locations on the IG’s Top Ten list for singular addresses that were theoretically used simultaneously by thousands of unauthorized alien workers, included an address in Oxnard, Calif, where the IRS sent 2,507 refunds worth $10,395,874; an address in Raleigh, North Carolina, where the IRS sent 2,408 refunds worth $7,284,212; an address in Phoenix, Ariz., where the IRS sent 2,047 refunds worth $5,558,608; an address in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., where the IRS sent 1,972 refunds worth $2,256,302; an address in San Jose, Calif., where the IRS sent 1,942 refunds worth $5,091,027; and an address in Arvin, Calif., where the IRS sent 1,846 refunds worth $3,298,877

I guarantee the money went to the SEIU or ACORN leftovers.

They don’t know how to do a database search?

11,000 mails being sent to the same address should have raised some flags

And the mailman didn’t notice his bag was awfully heavy?

The Sheeple better wake up like yesterday. Anyone think the DC sewer needs to be voted out and sent back to the real world or perhaps a prison deserving of their corruption against the American people?

I believe what we might find is that some commercial tax-refund service existed at the address, and the deal was that you could accept 90 percent of the refund today, and just allow the company to keep the rest as profit when the check arrives six weeks later. It’d be stupid for someone to agree to that, but the problems in getting a bank account these days and paying their lousy monthly fees....might be a reason to do a deal like this.

I don’t think we have the entire story on this yet.

I used to be a bank auditor .... one of our primary programs when auditing departments was a search for large amounts of money going out, to the same place, etc. and we did a statistical sampling testing of indivual items as well. This is ridiculous & IMO (criminal) negligence that they didn’t know this was happening. 46 MILLION?? All to the same address????????? Major firing at high levels needs to occur as well as a criminal investigation .... I can’t believe somebody didn’t notice this.

I think if we find actual street addresses, we’ll learn a lot more.

Exactly. I bet, in fact, that you will find that this money was also used in political funding. I’m sure the “unauthorized aliens” got a few bucks for letting their names be used - but then again, do they even exist? If they’re “unauthorized,” probably nobody even knows and the money no doubt went directly to something like the SEIU or even one of Obama’s shell political orgs.

I can’t find this report on any other news outlet except CNS. Why do only they have this report and not have the address? The vagueness is bothersome.

That’s very likely. These things are the equivalent of the “payday loans” that are now illegal in a number of states. These people - if they even exist and weren’t manufactured out of whole cloth by the tax-refund service - filed with whatever phony SS number they use and (since they generally can’t open bank accounts) collect a tiny amount of what is paid to the tax refund service. So that means that the tax refund services got to keep a hefty amount of that $46 million.

When we get into exactly what these organizations were, I suspect that we will probably find that some of the money goes directly to Obama’s political organizations and some may even go to terrorist groups abroad, since this type of financial crime - particularly in the Southwest, where there are lots of Muslim immigrants - is very commonly used for laundering money and channeling it to terrorist groups.

I doubt actual paper checks even went to the addresses. That’s an awful lot of mail moving through a lot of hands for no one to notice. I suspect the money was actually transferred by electronic means.

Okay. You got me but there's a legitimate explanation. I had originally seen the story on Fox, did a search but nothing came up as being a Fox story. But when reading the article, Fox reported the story as having been first reported at CNS, I used the CNS story as the source.

Seeing the Fox story wasn't posted on FR, I posted the story from CNS, without first checking to see if it was posted at FR under CNS. That was a mistake. It had in fact already been posted as a CNS story.

My apologies to PapaBear365, The Moderator and the readers at FR.

So, the feds can raid a guitar factory for using verboten wood or send a SWAT team out on a student loan collection detail, but can't take notice of an obvious forty six million dollar misappropriation of funds? Why am I not surprised?

So isn’t anyone “investigating”, arresting and imprisoning those who fraudulently got refunds????? It would seem easy to trace. If I did something incorrect on my taxes the a-hole irs would seize my assets and jail me within a few hours.
