Updated for 2025, our annual Tax Refund Fraud session uncovers the most common forms of refund fraud along with actionable intel on how to detect and mitigate this threat.
This session will help attendees prepare for the 2025 tax refund fraud season. Attendees will analyze tax refund fraud cases using a comprehensive view from the ACH Rules while balancing additional compliance obligations, to help your institution properly manage, investigate, and respond to fraud cases.
From data breaches to sophisticated social engineering schemes, fraudsters have a lot of accessible consumer and business data to successfully perpetrate tax refund fraud. We anticipate another year of challenges for RDFIs.
In this interactive session, attendees will prepare for handling suspect transactions and answers questions like:
• What are indicators of possible tax refund fraud?
• When do suspect returns qualify as suspicious activity under AML laws and does the institution have any liability?
• What is actual knowledge of fraud vs. constructive knowledge of fraud, and how should we respond?
• If we identify suspect returns on an account, how do we handle the entries?
At the conclusion of this session, learners will be able to:
• Analyze current trends of tax refund fraud.
• Discuss when an RDFI has potential liability for fraudulent tax refund credit entries.
• Record sound business practices to increase detection and proper handling.
• Document appropriate responses to suspect credit tax refunds.
