A Bergen County man admitted collecting tax refunds by using stolen identities to pose as 18 different people.
Emmanuel A. Barrientos-Fermin, 33, of Tenafly told a federal judge via videoconference in Newark on Tuesday that he gave an unnamed co-conspirator a photo of himself.
The accomplice then produced bogus driver’s licenses with his picture on them, he said.
The co-conspirator also gave him matching Social Security cards, driver’s licenses and W-2 forms – even birth certificates, Barrientos-Fermin said.

He collected advance-refund debit cards, then gave them to the accomplice, who paid him $200 for each, Barrientos-Fermin said.
