and they are doing this using the same last name/address?

I have first hand experience with hundreds of instances of this. The IRS has no data regarding anyone’s marital status. Many will use a secondary address, but plenty don’t even bother with that.

There is big money to be had and there are never any criminal charges brought against those that do get caught. EITC fraud is a pretty easy way to steal 5-10k a year and it doesn’t land you in jail the way theft does.

Our tax dollars at work!
