  1. Koskinen will have fun cleaning out the Austin TX ITIN Center. That IRS unit gave $4.2 billion in undeserved refunds to ITIN filers (think – illegal aliens) in 2011. According to TIGTA the problem was IRS workers ignoring ACTC fraud. They were told to. It’s been over a year since the IG report, but cleanup hasn’t even started. Or so says reporter Segall of WTHR. Google “katz segall” for more.
