IRS offers extra tax refunds to illegal immigrants granted amnesty by Obama
The Washington Times ^ | February3, 2015 | Stephen Dinan

Commissioner John Koskinen confirmed Tuesday that illegal immigrants granted amnesty from deportation under President Obama’s new policies would be able to get extra refunds from the IRS for money they earned while working illegally, as long as they filed returns during those years. Illegal immigrants who are granted the amnesty will be given official Social Security numbers, which means they can go back and amend up to three years of previous tax forms to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, potentially claiming billions of dollars in additional payments they were ineligible for before the amnesty.

In a more just world, those refunds should go directly to unemployed Americans.

The Obama administration is a criminal enterprise.

Despicable.

Despicable results from despicable policies dreamed up by a despicable little man elected by despicable gimmedat voters, and who remains unopposed by despicable politicians in both parties who fear the words of the despicable lamestream press.

There. Did I cover everyone?

When I write a check to pay my taxes, this will make me feel warm inside. On this alone, if the Republicans had any fight in them whatsoever, they could defeat Obama on any point with the American people. I wonder if Boehner/McConnell will say a word about this, or if they do, anyone will be able to understand what they are referring to.

You don't understand, the Republican party understands and approves these actions.

Once provided SSNs (under the Dreamer amnesty) they can go back and file “amended” returns for the last three years.

There’s actually a positive to this, in that it creates a paper trail on both them and those who were employing them illegally (either without an SSN or with a fake one). Since this is a deferred action program, should a future President decide to end it, it provides a nice trail of breadcrumbs for Immigration to use in identifying and finding them.

If I were an immigration lawyer or tax advisor with possible clients waking in the door wanting to take advantage of this, I’d definitely point out the risk of a future president stopping the deferrals and resuming the prosecutions. Iirc only a fraction of the eligible Dreamers have actually taken advantage of the program, probably for just that reason.

Constitution, Article 1 Section 8 first paragraph.

Evidently Congress has made it irrelevant.

People who’s identity was stolen should have recourse against the person and their employers.

Whose SS#’s were used for the illegal guest workers to file their tax returns? I think that is the obvious path to a class action suit.

They obtain ITINs (Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers) which are issued regardless of immigration status. They’re SSNs for resident aliens who aren’t otherwise eligible to obtain an SSN.
