I don't think four more years of 0bama is going to solve any of these issues.

Yes, someone sent this to me yesterday. Isn’t this EXACTLY what the IRS is supposed to be uncovering and eliminating? Guess not—they’re much more interested in finding math or compliance errors on millionaires’ returns.

The IRS is "1%" compliant with their fraud convictions.

Now I understand why the term "undocumented" is preferred by the liberal left in Washington.

When all of this is uncovered they feel safer by giving billions of our hard earned labor to "undocumenteds" rather than giving billions of our hard earned labor to "illegals".

They may be feeling a bit concerned about being tarred and feathered right about now.

My question is: who is showing the illegals how to do this?

We're not be invaded by Mexican tax accountants.

The IRS knows exactly what it's doing here. I want to know where the illegals got the information to do this....from the consulate? Were they steered toward certain tax preparers? This is happening all across America!

Undoubtedly, the IRS is too busy hiring and training to 4,000 new agents to make sure everyone is complying with Obamacare provisions to worry about a lousy $4 billion dollars lost here and there.

"My question is: who is showing the illegals how to do this?"

My friend had to wait several hours in the office to apply for unemployment benefits. While waiting she heard a man from Nigeria applying. The government worker asked if he had kids and he said yes, a son back home with his mother (an ex wife). She told him he could get benefits for the child as well. When the worker declined, saying he didn't live here, she pushed. He said his ex was living with someone and he didn't need the benefits for his son, and she continued to push. He had to argue with her to keep him off this man's benefits package.

Who's showing them how to do this? The government workers, that's who.

This has been going on for years. Not just the Additional Child Tax Credit but also the Earned Income Credit. Many illegals also use fraudulent W-2’s with high tax withholding. Plus many of these same people get food stamps, WIC, rent subsidies and other taxpayer funded handouts. These people also get counted in the “millions of Americans living in poverty” the politicians and the media constantly talk about.

The IRS has done nothing about this for several years and the problem is skyrocketing as the article says. The welfare agencies also do nothing about this. The government is a party to this fraud and theft from the American taxpayers.

Also, do you notice how the politicians and the media never say “illegal”. They always say “undocumented”. Some even say it is hate speech to use the word illegal.

Undocumented is fraudulent and dishonest in describing these people. They all have some documents. They are fraudulent documents.

...the Additional Child Tax Credit...
...a fully-refundable credit of up to $1000 per child..
...claiming the tax credit for kids who live in Mexico...
...sometimes 10 or 12 nieces and nephews...

These are thieves taking advantage of the lack of enforcement of the rules.

Why do the reporters refer to these fraudulent returns as taking advantage of a “tax loophole”?

There is no “loophole”.

Is it politically incorrect to call a crook a crook?

These are Federal FELONIES. Every instance, in addition to creating ITINs for children (if they even exist) in Mexico. The Feds could send the refunds out certified mail, arrest the illegals when they sign for them, and put them away for 10 years - automatic. Instead they PAY THEM!

There’s also major fraud going on with the ‘Earned’ Income Tax Credit, and we can bet this scam is not being pursued only by illegal aliens.

One odd thing in the story; it said that Congress must act to tell the IRS what to do. That sounds like nonsense. The IRS should already have the authority to pursue any sort of fraudulent information on a return. And that falls under the executive branch.

It doesn't take long for information like this to be "on the street", once the first few fraudsters have pulled it off. I worked for a tax preparer for a time and people came in with the information written down and rubbing their hands together waiting for the instant refund check.

>>And look at who we have to solve this issue and many others in the next four years<<

...and one of the most conservative states, Texas, has yet to vote.

I’ve not heard a thing about moving our primary earlier in the process to allow conservatives a voice. Silence.

Election after election, Texas has been marginalized during the primary process.......makes one wonder.

I’m convinced, the establishment politicians want moderate/liberal candidates who will go along with the status and not rock the boat.

There are now large populations of illegals spread all over the country and they help each other out with robbing the US citizen taxpayer with the help of our own government.

During tax time here in Fresno CA there are hoards of tax preparers that open their doors to the illegals to do their taxes. These businesses dress people up in statue of liberty costumes and put them out on the street corner to advertise. This theft is big business here in California because these tax prepares either charge the illegals a fee or offer them a high interest loan on the tax return. The whole process is disgusting and the fraud is so widespread. It is the largest welfare fraud and our government fails to do anything about it so you have to assume they are condoning it.

You would never see a news story investigation like this is California. The news media is afraid to upset the Hispanic community and will do anything to appease the illegals. Our own government officials have converted this country to a sand castle on a beach.
