Nancy Mathis, an agency spokeswoman, said in an interview yesterday that the I.R.S. would verify eligibility by cross-checking wage documents, like W-2's, with tax returns.

I can't believe that they can't do a quick pass of all people claiming the EITC, especially since they require a SSN for each child.

I'm not a big tax fan, but if you have a tax that has 27-32% cheating, that's something that needs to be looked into.

At 32 Billion, that's around 8-10 BILLION wasted.
