## Resource

Kansas has stopped over $230 million in fake tax refunds since 2019, using a smart system that combines software alerts and human review to catch fraud before it hits scammer wallets. Secretary Mark Burghart insists protecting taxpayer money is non-negotiable—every dollar lost to fraud means less for schools, roads, and essential services. While this extra check may delay refunds, security is worth the wait. Kansas is balancing speed with vigilance to keep taxpayer dollars safe and serve its people.
