During 2009, prisoners managed to collect a whopping $39.1 million in undeserved refunds from the IRS. $19 million went to prisoners in just three states: Florida, Georgia, and California. USA Today reported that as outrageously high as those amounts are, the true amount tax dollars that have been stolen could be even higher. The audit that the IRS has just concluded found a large number of fraudsters, but without examining every prisoner's tax return for fraud, it is impossible to know.
