WHAT THE??? IRS Defends Paying Refunds to ILLEGALS who NEVER FILED TAXES
The IRS is defending its decision to let illegal immigrants claim up to three years’ refunds on income even if they never paid income taxes, telling Congress in a new letter last week that agency lawyers have concluded getting a Social Security number triggers the ability to go back and ask for previous refunds.
President Obama’s new deportation amnesty could grant Social Security numbers to as many as 4 million illegal immigrants, making many of them eligible for tax refunds under the Earned Income Tax Credit even for years when they cheated on their taxes, by working off the books and not filing tax returns.
“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,” IRS Commissioner John Koskinenwrote in his letter to Sen. Charles E. Grassley on Wednesday.
The IRS’s chief lawyer had reached that conclusion in 2000, and the agency has newly confirmed it, Mr. Koskinen said.
Mr. Grassley called that a mockery of the law and said he will try to write a bill specifically prohibiting it.
“The tax code shouldn’t reward those who broke our immigration laws,” the Iowa Republican and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said in a statement.

If this is true, what the Hell is wrong with this country and the Obama administration? He only has four and a half months left to wreak havoc on this country so he just doesn’t care about hiding things anymore, it seems. He never has been real careful because nobody holds him to account, especially Congress.
Because everyone is afraid that he will cry “RACISM” if anyone pushes back on his decisions ! I really don’t care if he thinks it’s racism !! He needs to be stopped and held accountable for all of the destruction he has piled on us !! He is the most destructive person ever !!!! I truly believe he and Hillary are out to totally take down our amazing country !!
He is white and black worse example of both races… That oreo needs dumped into insanity sauce, burn his ass once maybe that’ll wake him up laziest President ever.
Read the article, this has been going on since at least 2000, 16 years ago, long before the current administration. The point is amnesty would allow even more to do it. Some Republicans have also proposed amnesty, so it is a problem that needs to be fixed. I hope Senator Grassley is successful in his efforts.
If trump gets in obama can cry racism all he wants to it wont do any good after we find out the truth about all the things he has commited against the american people trump gonna get his ass and congress for allowing it i hope they all rotten hell for crimes they commited and they gonna take the clinton family down too and americans gonna have a day of celebration like never before I sure do pray we do ….
It must be their UNEARNED income credit!
You should never get back more than you pay in. Unearned income credit is just plain stealing from the working Americans and giving it to those that don’t work and don’t pay anything. I know people that have kids just to get it…$7,000 is more than my SS retirement and I work 45 year.
Redistribution of wealth………from you and I to those who will not earn their own.
And you thought redistribution was only a tax hike on the wealthy didn’t you?
Everywhere you turn……there is someone wanting your money.
Make America great again………
These illegal idiots need to go back to there home and take Obama with you. I am a widow on a fixed income and you want to take my money. I barely have money for food. OH HELL NO. You people are taking my money I will fight you for it.
I agree, Mary! I’m a disabled widow and have the same problems that you and many other seniors have paying bills, medical bills, buying food, etc. These people are I-L-L-E-G-A-L Immigrants! They have no right to even BE here let alone get any benefits…..especially retro-active ones that they didn’t earn!

This country has two choices for our next President. If Hillary is elected the same thing will continue to happen. Our country is terribly broken and this election is crucial. Although I don’t like Trump’s delivery, I like his message. He is our only hope. 99% of the people I know and talk to want him in, but the polls say differently. That is my biggest fear. Our voting system is as corrupt as the people now running this country.
“The IRS’s chief lawyer had reached that conclusion in 2000, and the agency has newly confirmed it, Mr. Koskinen said.”. Yes, this is terrible, but according to the quote from the article, this has been going on for at least 16 years, long before President Obama! Hope they fix it.
