IDENTITY THEFT AND TAX FRAUD: Enhanced Authentication Could Combat Refund Fraud, but IRS Lacks an Estimate of Costs, Benefits and Risks

 

Note: The figure above is shown for illustrative purposes; the actual distribution of IDT versus noncompliant returns from legitimate taxpayers is unknown. To develop the magnitude measures above, we divided IRS's highest and lowest AUR category estimate by the estimate IRS chose in filing season 2013. Using these two extremes would likely result in too broad of a range in IDT refunds paid estimates.

b) Includes state data collected through September 2016.

c) Goals begin with the award of each task order for the deployment of the state RANs. Target goals are based on the total number of user devices on a network user contract proposed for Phase 5.

d) In this user density map, FirstNet aggregated stakeholder data (from states, territories, tribes, and federal agencies) with its own internal data to produce nationwide estimates of the demand for coverage by public safety users at the county level.
