A Florida man gave the IRS a real run for its money — by fudging his tax return and netting a $980,000 refund, according to a new report.

Ramon Christopher Blanchett finagled the massive return by claiming in February 2017 that he had $1 million in federal taxes withheld on $17,098 in alleged income, the Tampa Bay Times reported Wednesday.

The 29-year-old, who did his own taxes and submitted them electronically, listed his occupation as a “free-lancer.” His W-2 forms were from a Tampa nursing home and a Sizzling Platter restaurant in Murray, Utah.

But the feds say one W-2 showed Blanchett was actually paid $2,098 with no tax withheld and the other listed $1,399 in income, also with no withholdings.

Still, the IRS glossed over the self-filed return, sending Blanchett a check for $980,000. That year, the average US refund was about $3,000, the outlet reported.

After receiving the fortune, he tried depositing it into a pair of SunTrust bank accounts — but the bank, suspecting fraud, closed them last May and sent him a cashier’s check for the full amount.

Blanchett took the money and tried to open a money market account with Grow Financial Credit Union on the pretense that “the funds were from the estate of his deceased father,” according to a forfeiture complaint recently filed in federal court in Tampa.

Blanchett started moving money around the Grow account — and withdrew $49,117 to buy a 2016 silver Lexus RC350 on Aug. 9.

It was around this time the IRS caught up with Blanchett’s scam, realizing it had been bilked out of nearly $1 million. An IRS special agent seized his Lexus, as well as the remaining $919,251 in his accounts.

The agency is still fighting to recover another $809 — which represents the amount the car insurance company issued Blanchett because the car was no longer in his possession.

A magistrate judge found there was probable cause that the $809 in insurance money was subject to forfeiture.

Blanchett hasn’t been charged with a federal crime. His rap sheet includes possession of drug paraphernalia in 2016 and resisting arrest without violence. He pleaded guilty to resisting and a lesser offense on the other charge and paid a $274 fine. He was also nabbed in 2014 for misdemeanor marijuana possession, but the adjudication was withheld — meaning he was found not guilty by the court.

The Times couldn’t reach him for comment.
