At times material to this indictment:  \na. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) permitted taxpayers to file their individual income tax returns electronically using the “Electronic Filing” program, as well as filing individual income tax returns by mail.  \nb. The Electronic Filing program was designed, in part, to provide taxpayers with a mechanism for accelerated income tax return processing and faster distribution of tax refunds to the taxpayers that used the Electronic Filing program.  \nc. An individual taxpayer that used the Electronic Filing program was required to provide the IRS with all the necessary information to complete a U. S. Individual Income Tax Form 1040 and 1040X, and the  \nrelated schedules and forms, such as Form W-2.  \nd. An individual’s refund request and certification of return information under the Electronic Filing program was filed with the IRS using a document entitled “U. S. Individual Income Tax Declaration for Electronic  \nFiling.” This document was designated as “Form 8453”.  \ne. The information which the Form 8453 required the taxpayer to provide included, but was not limited to, the taxpayer's name, address, social security number, total income for the tax year, the amount of federal income tax withheld during the tax year, the amount of federal income tax, the amount of refund claimed, and directions regarding the disbursement of the refund.  \ng. Upon completion of the Form 8453, the taxpayer was required to sign the form by which the taxpayer represented, under penalty of perjury, that he had compared the information on the form with the information on his return and that the information provided was true and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief.  \nh.
