Illegal immigrants who will be granted amnesty can get an extra IRS refund if they file a return for the years that they were working in the U.S. illegally. So, if they didn’t pay into the system during those years where will that money come from?
Look for those who first broke the law by entering our country to do so again to grab some easy cash from Joe Taxpayer via fraudulent IRS forms.
Perhaps the IRS will just steal what they need. According to a New York Times article last year, the IRS has started literally robbing people, taking money out of bank accounts with ‘suspicious’ activity, such as not depositing enough money.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen confirmed Tuesday that illegal immigrants granted amnesty from deportation under President Obama’s new policies would be able to get extra refunds from the IRS for money they earned while working illegally, as long as they filed returns during those years.
Illegal immigrants who are granted the amnesty will be given official Social Security numbers, which means they can go back and amend up to three years of previous tax forms to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, potentially claiming billions of dollars in additional payments they were ineligible for before the amnesty.
Mr. Koskinen said they will have to have already filed returns for those back-years, and there’s a statute of limitations that governs how far they can go back, but said the agency’s current interpretation of laws would allow them to claim the EITC credit retroactively.
“This is the problem you get into,” said Sen. Charles E. Grassley, an Iowa Republican who demanded a solution to the loophole. “The IRS’s interpretation of the EITC eligibility requirements undermines congressional policy for not rewarding those working illegally in the United States.”
The loophole stems from the way the IRS handles illegal immigrants. While the immigrants are not authorized to work in the U.S. legally, the IRS still wants to be paid taxes on the earnings of those who do work, and so it has issued millions of Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, or ITINs, to illegal immigrants, enabling them to pay up.
Some tax credits are only eligible to those with a valid Social Security number. Those who get valid numbers, however, can go back and claim them.
The IRS website says taxpayers have until April 15 this year to file back to 2011 claiming tax credits they didn’t ask for in their previous returns, and have until April 15, 2016, to claim tax credits from 2012.
Mr. Grassley asked Mr. Koskinen to go back and revisit his agency’s interpretation of the laws.
The Obama administration says up to 4 million illegal immigrants could earn “deferred action,” or a stay of deportation and work permits that would accompany it. It’s uncertain how many of those were paying taxes using ITINs, and thus could be eligible to claim the EITC.
The EITC isn’t the only tax credit to be ensnared in the immigration debate. The IRS already pays out billions of dollars a year to illegal immigrants under a program known as the additional child tax credit.
The IRS says the law is vague on who is eligible for the child credit, so to be on the safe side they pay it out to illegal immigrants.
Backers argue that the children claimed for the child tax credit are likely U.S. citizens, even if their parents are here illegally, and so it would be unfair to strip the money.
In 2010, the government paid out $4.2 billion to illegal immigrants who claimed the child tax credit, the IRS’s inspector general found.
Reprehensible!
Just like the IRS. Target Conservatives and give money that belongs to Americans to criminals. Thank you Liberal Muslim lovers
JUST DOES NOT MAKE NO DAMN SINCE BUT WHO ARE WE TO SAY.
If there is “Extra” to give shouldn’t someone be going to prison for extortion?
Why do we need a congress? They relinquished all power to Chancellor Obama

MOHAM-MAD AND ISLAM.
Facebook Group: Koran and its Satanic teaching
In Islam, not only is rape of children (“marrying”) allowed, but divorcing of pre-pubescent children is OK (Koran 65:4). Moham-mad, the ideal man (Koran 68:4, 33:21) was 51 when he married his child bride Aisha 6. He didn’t deflower her until she was 9 and he was 54. (Bukhari 7.62.88) Remember: not only marriage, but divorce of pre-pubescent girls is allowed for all Muslims according to All*h (Koran 65:4).
1) Moham-mad is considered a prophet and the ideal man. (Koran 68:4, 33:21)
2) Moham-mad (51) married his favorite child bride Aisha when she was 6. (Bukhari 7:62:88)
3) Moham-mad (54) deflowered the nubile Aisha when she was 9. (Bukhari 7:62:88)
4) Moham-mad ordered all dogs to be killed because of a puppy. (Bukhari 4:54:540) (Kitab Al-Libas wa’l-Zinah) Muslim :: Book 24 : Hadith 5248
5) Moham-mad helped behead (Koran 47:4) 600 – 900 captives in one day.
6) Moham-mad and insults against him and Islam (Koran 9:61-:63, 33:57-:58) require death. (Koran 33:61)
7) Moham-mad had women killed for insulting him. (Asma bint Marwan, Abu ‘Afak, Kab bin Al-Ashraf)
8) Moham-mad orders anyone leaving Islam to be killed. (Koran 2:217, 4:89) (Bukhari 9.84.57)
9) Moham-mad curses his aunt and uncle to hell. (Koran Chapter 111)
10) Moham-mad was made victorious through terror. (Bukhari 4.52.220)
11)Moham-mad had a woman from Ghamid stoned to death for adultery after weaning her baby. (Kitab Al-Hudud) Book 17 : Hadith 4205 and 4206
12) Moham-mad got 20 percent of all stolen property. (Koran 8:41)
13) Moham-mad was spoken to by the devil. (Koran 17:73-:75, 22:52-:53, 53:19-:26)
14) Moham-mad rode a buraq (winged half-donkey/half mule) to heaven and back meeting Moses. (Koran 17:1) (Bukhari 5:58:227)
15) Moham-mad led 27 battles and ordered 47 others.
16) Moham-mad had over 50 sex slaves and wives. (Koran 4:3, :24, 5:89, 23:5, 33:50, 58:3, 70:30)
17) Moham-mad never had a son. (Koran 33:40 – thus the Sunni and Shia Sects)
18) Moham-mad alone was allowed to have unlimited wives. (Koran 33:50)
19) Moham-mad was ordered by All*h to marry his adopted son’s stunning wife. (Koran 33:37)
20) Moham-mad colored his hair. (Red with Henna). So you can imagine what a prophet of doom Moham-mad was! All sort of evil acts his so-called Allah made okay for him but not for his followers! Wow! What a Allah he is! Listen Moham-mad was himself a true voice of Satan. Now look at his character! You will find nothing good but evil and these are all rape, lust for sex, loot, murder, terrorism, hatred. Even an Atheist will say Moham-mad was not a prophet but a true satanic voice of Satan. Satan put mask on his face and claimed Allah himself. But be honest, there is no Allah but it was Moham-mad himself who picked that name from Kabaah to justify his all sort of evil acts holy. And very sad to say all Muslims follow this Satan and his satanic rules and regulation.
