The IRS and Fiscal Service are currently using several different programs or processes to prevent or identify fraudulent returns as early in the process as possible. First, NACHA, The Electronic Payments Association, has implemented an opt-in program at the request of IRS and Treasury Fiscal Service to allow RDFIs to use a specific return reason code (R17) to return refunds where fraud is suspected. Under the opt-in program, once the suspected fraud is identified by the program-participating RDFI, the payment is returned back to Treasury Fiscal Service which routes the payment back to IRS for additional research. RDFIs seeking more information or which are interested in program participation should contact NACHA directly at 703-561-1100 or by email at [email protected]. Secondly, the IRS has limited the number of refunds that can be electronically deposited into a single financial account or pre-paid debit card to three. This limit has been put in place to prevent fraudulent refund payments from being made to a single account. Also, if a financial institution suspects that a refund payment or payments is associated with fraud, the institution can use IRS’ External Leads Program by e-mailing information about the questionable refund to [email protected]. Lastly, the IRS, Fiscal Service, the Network Branded Prepaid Card Association, and prepaid card providers continue to meet on a recurring basis to find ways to identify and prevent fraudulent refund payments from being made to a prepaid card account. This workgroup was responsible for developing the opt-in program using the R17 return code and the External Leads Program. The offers that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us.
