The SSN only comes into play if you have a "benefits letter" from SS. In other words, if you get disability or retirement benefits, you will get a check. Can't imagine that illegals would be filing taxes.
Because of previous administration's welcoming of illegals, I do know that it was somewhat ordinary for some illegal aliens to be filing income tax. I have no clue how this worked with regard to social security numbers. I have known some who bought fake numbers and filed. But industrious illegals with businesses seem to think paying taxes gives them credit to stay.
It's not like the illegals open up and share their secrets because my politics are an open book around the county. But there's lots of illegals around and people share their business.

They can do so illegally.
If they (non-citizens) don’t have a SS# they are given TIN a Taxpayer Identification Number and no I do not believe that any non-citizen should get a penny. So yes some are paying taxes, but with a TIN they can also sign up for all the freebies, WIC food stamps medical, you name it thanks to the Democrats. A back door way into the system.
Rant off,
