It is tax time again when the evidence of the grimy hand of the government reaching into one’s pocket is seen in black and white. Many are counting the days for their tax refunds to hit their bank accounts, realizing that the government feels entitled to one’s paycheck and it will spend it how it deems politically advantageous
In a investigative report, WTHR 13 reports that millions of illegal immigrants are getting bigger tax refunds than the law abiding American citizen. Through a massive IRS loophole, that cost billions of taxpayer dollars, IRS is simply handing out tax dollars to people who don’t even live here.
Bob Segal spent three months investigating the fraudulent behavior of the IRS. One man, a tax consultant, has discovered “huge fraud” and wants to blow the whistle on the nationwide problem with a enormous price tag. This is a “multi-billion dollar fraud scheme that is taking place”, involving illegal immigrants who are filing tax returns. Illegals, working in the United States, do not have a social security number, so the IRS created an ITIN, an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, that has backfired in a big way.
Read on page two how illegals are using their ITIN to get enormous refunds.
Really!
An ITIN doesn’t give anyone any government benefits or tax refunds unless you paid money to the IRS in the first place. It only allows someone to file a tax return if they have taxable income to report, no tax credits for illegals. The right wing BS media needs to do some research.
Not true. Sorry.
Our corrupt Obama regime government in action dumping trillions of dollars of debt onto America’s children.
Stop this insanity!!
MONDAY THRU FRIDAY THEY FLOOD ACROSS THE BORDER TO ATTEND SCHOOLS CLAIMING RESIDENCE IN THE U.S.. 56 children used an address of an rundown empty trailer as their residence. School did nothing as they get their funds for students enrolled and attending. All they need is a visitors visa and an address. This is costing the taxpayers millions. Plus they get free breakfast , lunch and school supplies! I know this firsthand.
Initially the credit wasn’t refundable in most cases (only for families who had three or more children and who also met certain income tests). So the issue of illegal workers claiming credits did not arise at first. But the 2001 Bush tax cuts made more parents eligible for refundable credits, and increased the amount in steps to $1,000 per child.
So by 2005, the recent IG report said, 796,000 persons without valid Social Security numbers claimed refundable child credits totaling $924 million, and in 2008, these claims had risen to 1,526,276 persons claiming $2.1 billion in refunds.
Can I opt out of funding war and the military?
I don’t use math like the politicians, where if you owe 1 Billion dollars and you cut spending by $1, you have cut the deficit in half and saved 10 Billion dollars. I use TLAR math. It’s been working for me for over 70 years.
Is that a “loophole” or an intentional gap only certain people can qualify for, put in there KNOWING who would use it?
