On Wednesday, the IRS once again rejected her electronic tax return. She said she’s gone through it before. “I will not be eligible for my refund. I'm not eligible for my rebate. I mean, I can't do anything with it,” she said. Channel 4’s Nancy Amons first reported about Todd’s ordeal last week, but Amons has since found out more about how common the problem is. According to a government audit, Social Security had to resurrect more than 23,000 people in a period of less than two years. The number is the approximate equivalent to the population of Brentwood. The audit said the lack of documentation in the Social Security computer makes it impossible for the government's auditors to determine if the people are dead or alive. Read more.
