This is nothing new. Illegals have been the #1 perpetrators of EIC and Child Tax Credit fraud since their inception. The IRS knows it, but won’t increase their enforcement of the law. They give the illegals a pass. Illegals in general pay ZERO federal or state income taxes, it’s been that way for 50 years. Only the very few that have W-2 wage jobs pay ANY tax, and that is only Medicare and Social Security taxes as the universally claim 99 exemptions on their W-4’s
I know because it was my job at the IRS to enforce the law’s provisions, but my managers told me not to.
I was wondering if this means an illegalial alien on welfare would get an annual stipend from IRS in addition to other government support? I think the child tax credit comes up for criticism because parents can get more on refund than was withheld in some cases?
