Those involved in the tax fraud operation used stolen Social Security numbers to file returns, according to the Global Dispatch.
The scam meant that ordinary taxpayers had to wait for up to a year to receive their refunds.
Wilson, whose mother was addicted to cocaine when she was born, and whose father was in prison while she was growing up, came from a life of poverty .
Although she still claimed food stamps during her fraud, she used the ill-gotten gains to fund a lavish lifestyle which included spending $30,000 on her son’s first birthday, buying a $90,000 Audi and designer handbags and sunglasses.
Wilson also had a custom-designed necklace, spelling out her name in jewels, made for her, according to Fox News.
As well as finding designer goods at her home in Wimauma, police said the number of security cameras around the property had raised suspicions.
Wilson has been ordered to $3.1 million in restitution.
