Lately I’m realizing what an absolute drain imposter syndrome is. I see things like this and I think maybe I could jump three levels up into a completely different department and be just fine, at least for a while. Then maybe fail up?
I noped out of those places fast.

> They sent my refund to some identity thief. How does that currently work? In DK they just send it to your "nem konto", the same bank account that also gets your wages. More or less a sym link, so even if you move bank it will follow. Makes life easy.
when you file your tax paperwork each year you have to tell them which bank account to send the refund to. if someone else can file for you they can put in whatever info they like, so.

That doesn't solve anything when the fraudster is filing a fake return. They are under no obligation to include all of your carefully chosen income and deductions that get you to $1000 owed.
What? In order to get a refund, that means you have to overpaid what you owe. It's pretty simple. If you are not putting in enough, the fraudster cannot get a refund as you still owe. Like, where is the break down? They would have to know how much you have paid, and then file so many deductions that it'd probably trigger an audit. If you file that many audits not with an account signing off of them, I could only imag…

But how do you authenticate when filling your taxes?
if they think you're the target of identity theft they can step it up to requiring a PIN that they mail you?

Perhaps. But they made $1.6 billion in net income in 2025, which, from a business perspective, makes them about $10.6 billion more competent than OpenAI.
We view competence differently. I value things outside of simply making money. See: the crypto argument that it’s successful because number go up when it is almost entirely pump and dumps and money laundering. I don’t view that as success, but people do.
And it's hilarious that you would compare Palantir to a crypto pump-and-dump while claiming OpenAI creates more value and is more successful.

Damn, I guess I've always been confused. I didn't realize the toy building blocks company was called Letos.

Unfortunately, right now, it seems like history belongs to the people who bullshit.
Well, bullshit tends to be more bullish, and it's not the bears keeping money on the table.

The fraudster claims that you installed energy efficient home improvements that qualify for the max $3,200 tax credit. Now that $1,000 in tax owed is a $2,200 refund. Maybe you get audited, but the IRS is certainly not auditing everyone who claims a tax credit.
