COMPUTER PROGRAM, METHOD, AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING FRAUDULENTLY FILED TAX RETURNS

摘要

Embodiments of the invention detect fraudulently filed tax returns when a subject taxpayer submits a subject tax return for filing with a taxing authority. Embodiments analyze tax information associated with the subject tax return and compare the information against tax information of previously filed tax returns for a plurality of taxpayers. These embodiments search for confidence indicators among the tax returns indicative or suggestive of at least one fraudulent tax return. These confidence indicators are then analyzed to determine if the subject tax return for the subject taxpayer, any of the previously filed tax returns, or some combination thereof, is a fraudulent tax return.

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon for detecting a fraudulently filed tax return, wherein the computer program instructs at least one processing element to perform the following steps:
receiving tax information associated with a subject tax return for a subject taxpayer; accessing a filed return data store comprising tax information associated with a plurality of previously filed tax returns for a respective plurality of taxpayers, wherein each of the plurality of previously filed tax returns is associated with a tax period that is the same as a tax period associated with the subject tax return for the subject taxpayer; comparing the received tax information associated with the subject tax return for the subject taxpayer with said accessed tax information from the filed return data store; and identifying, based on said comparison, at least one confidence indicator for the subject tax return, wherein said at least one confidence indicator is indicative of a whether the subject tax return is genuine.
