Plenty of taxpayers claim a tax credit that they are not eligible for, which could trigger delayed refunds and extra verification. If the verification is not confirmed that can put a taxpayer in a very dangerous financial penalty, which could have an individual going to jail for at least three years. When filing taxes often individuals don’t know exactly what they’re doing especially when they try to file their taxes themselves.
