This isn’t exactly the kind of story the IRS wants buzzing around at tax time. The IRS and Justice Department normally want ‘scared straight’ stories just before Tax Day. Ideally, when an indictment or conviction for tax evasion hits the news, it makes you think twice. Somehow, you think just a bit more about all those deductions, or if you really reported all your income, before you sign your return under penalties of perjury.
Instead, we have the top dog at the IRS, the IRS Commissioner himself, admitting that, well, there’s a problem with illegal immigrants and taxes. In fact, the top IRS official this time wasn’t talking about how the IRS wipes some hard drives or can’t find emails. He wasn’t even asking for a bigger budget to give bonuses to IRS employees.
This time, he was talking about illegal immigrants, and about the IRS turning a blind eye. Or maybe worse. The IRS actually wants illegal immigrants to illegally use Social Security numbers, he suggested. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen made the surprising statement in response to a question from Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., at a Senate Finance Committee meeting. The question was a touchy one. Gee, is the IRS collaborating with taxpayers who file tax returns using fraudulent information? It wasn’t put exactly that way. According to Senator Coats:
"What we learned is that … the IRS continues to process tax returns with false W-2 information and issue refunds as if they were routine tax returns, and say that’s not really our job. We also learned the IRS ignores notifications from the Social Security Administration that a name does not match a Social Security number, and you use your own system to determine whether a number is valid.”

DISMANTLE IRS. Throw the perps in federal prison.
The war on taxpayers.
“But the IRS chief later corrected himself and said that they can claim the money even if they never filed tax returns in the past. According to the IRS, illegal immigrants granted amnesty and Social Security numbers can claim up to three years of back tax credits.”
What happens to a productive US citizen who chooses not to file tax returns?
Went to submit our tax form last year and it was refused by the IRS because “someone” had already filed with our SSNs. We “owed” about $3000. The IRS would not accept our filing! Well for sure they eventually cashed our check. This year, my husband received a PIN # for filing our taxes. We attempted to file but it was again rejected although we “owed” $2600!!!! even though we both claimed 0 dependents for paycheck deductions. I do not understand how this can be. I am a public school teacher and my husband is the manager of a fitness center. Just saying.
Spend the money and go see a CPA, he or she will more than cover their fee.
We need to gut it and repopulate with Americans for America
