Maryland Woman Charged with Tax Refund Fraud
Tax fraud may seem like a shortcut, but it almost always turns into a long-term disaster.
Recently, Kendra Nicole Scarborough of Maryland was indicted for allegedly filing false tax returns that claimed more than $1.1 million in bogus refunds. According to prosecutors, she received over $412,000 from the IRS using fake withholdings and non-existent payments.
If convicted, she faces significant prison time, financial penalties, and restitution.
The Risk of Tax Refund Fraud
Most taxpayers will never face criminal charges like this. But the case highlights an important truth:
Fraudulent filings can lead to criminal prosecution.
The IRS investigates aggressively when false refunds are suspected.
Short-term gains can quickly turn into long-term consequences.
Even if your situation doesn’t involve fraud, failing to file or making mistakes on returns can still trigger audits, penalties, or IRS collections.
