It is very easy, they claim they are seperated to leave the husband/wife's income out, thus they recieve more earn income credit for their childern, usually thousands of dollars more (they use a parents/relative's address for filing). Another trick they employ is they have a relative who is on welfare with a child or two (no income, os no filing), then they claim they are responsible for the child's upbringing (this works for even distant cousins) and then claim these kids as dependents even if they don't live in the same state. I am sure there are several other ways they have to scam the system and they employ them all.

Jesus, That takes some thought. If a person is that industrious, why the hell aren't they leading a Fortune 500 company or working for the IRS?
