IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has confirmed to Congress that illegal immigrants granted amnesty under President Obama’s new programs could claim back refunds even when they never filed returns to pay their taxes in the first place.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, who had pressed Mr. Koskinen over the issue, released written responses Wednesday ... and, in fact, illegal immigrants granted the amnesty will now be able to claim refunds on tax returns they never even filed, thanks to the Earned Income Tax Credit.
“To clarify my earlier comments on EITC, not only can an individual amend a prior year return to claim EITC, but an individual who did not file a prior year return may file a return and claim EITC (subject to refund limitations under section 6511 of the Internal Revenue Code),” Mr. Koskinen said.

....illegal immigrants aren’t supposed to have numbers. But Mr. Obama’s new deportation amnesty grants illegal immigrants work permits, which are then used to obtain Social Security numbers.
IRS lawyers have ruled that once illegal immigrants get numbers, they can go back and refile for up to three previous years’ taxes and claim refunds even for time they were working illegally.
The lawyers said since the EITC is a refundable credit, that’s allowed even when the illegal immigrants worked off the books and never paid taxes in the first place.
“Section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code requires an SSN on the return, but a taxpayer claiming the EITC is not required to have an SSN before the close of the year for which the EITC is claimed,” Mr. Koskinen said. “At your request, the IRS has reviewed the relevant statutes and legislative history, and we believe that the 2000 Chief Counsel Advice (CCA) on this issue is correct.”

You just can’t make this stuff up.
Citizenship is overrated.
Obama amnesty granted 500,000 Social Security numbers to illegal immigrants

The IRS cannot keep records, cannot enforce its
workers to pay their own taxes, cannot stop political
use of its organization, and lies to Congress.
So for whom does the IR”S” actually “work” and report?
No...citizenship is ‘invalidated’
Obama and Jarrett.
How true.
Welcome the thieving bastards into our country and then give them free money stolen from AMERICANS. It’s what the communist “Democrats” do.
Ann Coulter is right. Adios America!
Gee... had I never filed income tax returns even though I didn’t owe any money I would have gotten all the refunds returned with interest? Those people at the IRS must be walking around on stilts to stay out of the bullshit they spew.
I heard someone on the radio (a caller) talk about how illegal aliens get TINs and then SSNs to receive taxes and get DLs. They already do this themselves.
The objective is to grow the state with a permanent underclass.
They believe that they have a limited amount of time to do this therefore they are trying to bring in as many as possible as quickly as possible.
Bottom line:
The elected are trying to REPLACE us with a group which has NO experience holding leaders accountable.
Nothing is surprising anymore.
What are the republicans saying about this? I am not hearing them.
illegal immigrants granted amnesty under President Obama’s new programs
Aren’t at least two courts holding these “new programs” as unconstitutional?
********
It is in the courts, but we don’t really know if the administration will follow the injunction. (when have they followed the rule of law?)
No wonder SSN is going broke. The stewards of the taxpayer are doing a fine job making this happen.

Bought and paid for :(

Of course. EIC is free $!
