THAT ARTICLE SAID NOTHING ABOUT
CLAIMING SOMEONE ELSES KIDS WITHOUT
THEIR KNOWLEDGE.
ITS FAIRLY SIMPLE TO SEE HOW PPL GET CAUGHT UP.
THE FEDS SEE THOSE SAME KIDS GETTING
CLAIMED BY SOMEONE DIFFERENT EVERY YR.
youre confusing two different convos I was having with people.
One convo I was talking about claiming kids...
...the other I was talking about the likely hood of poor people getting audited vs rich.
Ive been self employed for awhile...my dad was a business owner, and I have friends that are self employed/business owners...
...we talk about taxes all the time...
the average person doesnt have much to worry about.
A lot of these scammers are people in over their head...and dont know the full landscape.
There is a for sure a way to lower your chances of getting caught...but most people dont know how to do it because its time consuming...
...the time you spend scamming you could be spent working a job/business.
Straight up scamming the IRS w/ fake documents is a game people should stay away from...its dumb.
When I came into this thread I didnt know thats what yall were talking about...
...I thought yall were saying someone on this forum had a business and stretched some numbers to get extra money...
...not make up a fake business to get ppp.
