Sessions has plan to close tax loopholes for illegals

Illegal Aliens Receive Billions in IRS Tax Benefits

On July 7, 2011, the U.S. Department of Treasury's inspector general for tax
administration issued a startling report entitled "Individuals Who Are Not
Authorized to Work in the United States Were Paid $4.2 Billion in Refundable
Credits."

No wonder the nation's finances are in turmoil.

According to the Treasury report, foreign nationals not authorized to work
in the United States and ineligible for a Social Security Number (SSN) are
nevertheless receiving government help from the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS). The IRS currently issues undocumented aliens an Individual Taxpayer
Identification Number (ITIN) to facilitate their filing of tax returns.

Many illegal workers are paid in cash "under the table" and thus file no tax
forms at all; but a number of undocumented workers, according to the
Treasury report, are receiving public benefits contrary to federal and state
laws.

For example, the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and the Additional Child Tax Credit
(ACTC) allow payment of federal funds as tax benefits to undocumented
aliens. Add to these the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and the result is
tax refunds that provide incentives for foreign nationals to enter, reside,
and work in the United States without authorization and in violation of
current U.S. immigration law.

The CTC, ACTC, and EITC have come under review because of the significant
volume of Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) returns filing
for these credits using fraudulent data, such as names and SSNs.

The Treasury report notes that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (ARRA) temporarily increased ACTC eligibility by changing the income
threshold for calculating the credits in 2009 and 2010. The result was that
in 2010, undocumented alien (ITIN) filers were able to claim higher tax
refunds that totaled $4.2 billion. They represent an increase from $924
million in 2005.

******It is clear that unauthorized aliens are filing ITIN tax returns with
fraudulent data. The Treasury report found that "One common type of
fraudulent refund involves taxpayers fabricating a Wage and Tax Statement
(Form W-2) that shows excess withholding and results in a tax refund."******

Street-smart illegal immigrants are wise to the federal government's
incompetence.

This is why most citizens don't trust their government anymore, total lack of competence. Why are you voting for illegal activity Committee members??? What is so hard to understand that illegal is illegal.

This is a no-brainer except for CONgress. Keep hammering them via fax/phone/email and tell them to quit giving our $$$ to scam artists.

Since when did any illegal alien EVER deserve tax breaks for their criminal behavior in the first place...This travesty needs to stop ASAP.......
American taxpayers should NEVER support ILLEGAL ALIENS, ever ever ever......WTF

IRS clearly states:

" To qualify for Earned Income Tax Credit or EITC, you and your spouse if married and filing a joint return, must meet all of the following rules:

1. Have a valid Social Security Number "

http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=...

NOT AN ITIN.

A VALID United States Social Security Number.
Not a fraudulent number.
Not someone elses number.
Not a made up number.
Not a stolen number.
Not a bought number.
Not a "borrowed" number.
Not a "fake" number.

Illegal aliens do NOT have a "valid social security number".
Every single illegal alien who ever filed a tax return and collected EITC for their children committed tax fraud, and every single person who prepared an income tax return to claim EITC for any illegal alien committed tax fraud.

The IRS pays for information on any person who committed tax fraud:

Whistleblower - Informant Award

The IRS Whistleblower Office pays money to people who blow the whistle on persons who fail to pay the tax that they owe. If the IRS uses information provided by the whistleblower, it can award the whistleblower up to 30 percent of the additional tax, penalty and other amounts it collects.

http://www.irs.gov/compliance/article/0,,id=1...

Questionable Refund Program (QRP)- Criminal Investigation (CI)
The Questionable Refund Program (QRP) is a nationwide multifunctional program established in January 1977. The QRP was designed to identify fraudulent returns, to stop the payment of fraudulent refunds and to refer identified fraudulent refund schemes to Criminal Investigation (CI) field offices.

Look for Oboozo to fight this. And no doubt he will scream racism to his critics.

Uh Huh...
