The IRS should pick this up when the imposter's employers sends in a W-2. I have a friend who had this happen multiple years before they actually did anything about it, though.
... unless the mismatched name excludes that and then the government just spends it....
illegal aliens have to pay taxes. it is in the tax code. I kid you not. IRS has a no questions asked policy. they are happy as long as you pay your taxes. In addition to a fake SSN, if you are an illegal you can get a TPID Tax payer ID from the IRS and circumvent SSNs altogether.
According to the lady that completes the payroll and does the taxes for our business, she told me that she has other clients who have Hispanic employees (some illegals) and that many Hispanics like to claim a high number of dependents (something like 9 or more) on their W-4 so they have little to no tax taken from their checks, and then typically never file a tax return. She says they will also get their EIC payments in advance as well.
correct
Pure BS. They are the only ones who lose money. The IRS & SSN know it is happening and they don't care. They pocket the money.
