Congress set up the law so taxpayers who accurately report their income to the IRS can be assured the information will never be shared with other government agencies.

This is congressional participation in a crime. This is conspiracy to violate the immigration laws of the United States.

The congress does not have the stomach to tell the American people immigration laws are no longer going to be enforced. That might start a revolution. Instead they conspire to obstruct enforcement.

I seriously doubt that Congress had illegal immigration in mind when they set up the provisions of tax law so that information on a tax return could not be shared with other government agencies. They were more concerned with collecting taxes from persons who who might not be reporting income because the sources of that income might be criminal activity: bootleggers, gamblers, etc.

The way with-holding and Social Security deductions were set up, the IRS got the money (which was collected for them by the employers), but the illegals could never file for tax refunds or SS benefits. This encouraged the illegals to work for pay under the table, and the employers to pay them considerably less than they would have to pay Americns or legal foriegn workers. The new system is intended to increase complience with the tax laws, and thus increase revenue.

Would any of YOU want the IRS to share the information on your tax return with any and all other government agencies? Not just tolerate it, because it caused you no harm, but actively want and advocate it?
