Krysta Marie Reyes arrested in Salem, Oregon after trying to use TurboTax to fraudulently claim a tax refund worth at least $2 million.
According to a police affidavit, Reyes reported $3 million in made-up wages from a fake employer on her 2011 income tax return and claimed $2.1 million in refunds, which, after working its way through TurboTax’s automated software, was oddly approved by The Oregon Department of Revenue.
Soon enough, a Visa debit card loaded with the refund was in her hands (as the result of human error, apparently) … and within weeks, Reyes was spending the money like she stole it.
