Who Is Minding The Store? New Car Tax Breaks Passed Out To Prisoners, Dead People And Children

Prisoners, dead people and children qualified for a 2009 tax break to spur car buying, according to a U.S. report on Wednesday that criticized the Internal Revenue Service for misapplying the refund in some cases.

The IRS should have done more to verify that people who claimed the qualified motor vehicle (QMV) deduction were entitled to it, said the report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, a government-run IRS watchdog.

The measure, which expired on December 31, 2009, was part of the Obama administration's economic stimulus package.
