Undocumented paying taxes and our governments unwillingness- or incompetence - to help?
Illegal aliens pay in taxes every year. They work through a (fake or borrowed or stolen social) and then, at the end of the year, they file taxes through an ITIN. I assist several people in my area with these taxes, and, we staple the W2 Form to the state & federal returns, and mail it.
My question is this: Every year the government receives the W2s which have the ITIN (and the person's REAL information), and, attached to it they receive the W2 which has the social security number of the person whose name they are working under. IF our government wanted to stop any of the undocumented, or to warn people whose socials have been stolen, wouldn't they do so? They are given this information. I don't know of any illegal that has ever even gotten a letter, or a call, or anything about this. What do you think? Does our government simply not care? Or are they so incompetent they cant figure it out?
You missed the news report on this then because the head of the IRS said this himself. "We do not care if they are legal, or illegal. We do not care how they made their money. Legally, or illegally as long as they pay us the taxes owed. And we are not under any obligation to tell Immigration Agencies that we are accepting and taking in the taxes the illegals file on."
But here is how I feel about the whole issue. If they have ridden on the backs of other peoples SSN's, and other false information. As far as I'm concerned they can and should lose out on all that money taken out plus what they also had to pay in addition without the refunds or per child credit, for using the false information in the first place. And then turning around and filing with all the proper paperwork. And those of us that they used our identities should benefit it from them for the inconvenience they decided to cause us.
And you may disagree with me. But let me ask you this. Is that the way you'd live, and go about your life?

Anyone visiting the USA and all of its residents, enjoy government benefits. However, they all pay taxes of some sort. Tourists pay taxes on lodging, transportation, gifts, etc; undocumented pay taxes on gas, logding, etc. However, legal tax paying residents pay the most but also recieve more benefits. The big one people claim is healthcare, emergency services and it is a big one, but then again there are plenty of legal residents who either do not have insurance, homeless, or just dont pay taxes who recieve these benefits as well (ie. Wesely Snipes). I think he anti-illegal immigration forces have an argument, but they are not being fair in stating that illegal aliens pay zero taxes.
they do get "no match letters"but most numbers stolen for this purpose are that of the dead. the govt is not fixing this half of the problem because they do not have to return any of the money paid in taxes especialy if they "accidently" take too much out of the check(no tax refunds for these people that money really really adds up). the govt knows exactly what is going on, the people however do not, many misunderstand the situation or fall into the hands of some bad information, causeing them to be angry with the illegals and not with the govt. which works realy well for the govt. there are many new laws reguarding this and alot of people who actualy have caught on to this are trying to change it so the laws keep bouncing back and forth up and down...etc
