IRS Warns of Fake ‘Tribal Tax Credits’ Targeting Native Communities
The Internal Revenue Service is warning taxpayers, tribal communities, businesses and tax professionals about promoters selling fraudulent “Tribal Tax Credits” that do not exist under federal law. The IRS said promoters are falsely claiming that the purported credits can reduce federal tax liabilities or generate refunds. The schemes are marketed under names including “Tribal Tax Credits,” “Native American Tax Credits” and “Sovereign Tribal Tax Credits.” The agency warned that taxpayers who claim the nonexistent credits could face civil and criminal penalties. “Protecting taxpayers and the integrity of the tax system remains central to the IRS mission,” said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J.

The breast cancer center appealed thousands of Blue Cross reimbursements for being too low. At trial, the insurer revealed that it had never considered any of the appeals — and that they were pointless: “An appeal is not available to review an underpayment.” (Published April 2025)

“Slow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”: Trial Reveals How Insurers Try to Wield Power Over Doctors
Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.
