IRS pays out $6.8 billion in refunds to taxpayers who file using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs). They generally are immigrants, here both legally and illegally. The potential amount of fraud was not stated, but the investigators detailed seven schemes that paid out $9 million in tax refunds in 2011
Rep. Sam Johnson, Texas Republican, called for IRS Commissioner Douglas H. Shulman to resign.
He has written a bill that would limit the popular child tax credit to only those taxpayers who have a Social Security number. The House passed a bill that included a version of his legislation, but the Senate has not acted on it.
The IRS said the law doesnt prohibit illegal immigrant parents from obtaining the credit, though many members of Congress disagree.
"Many members of Congress disagree."
"The House passed a bill...but the Senate has not acted on it."
Refundable tax credits (welfare) for illegal immigrants seems to be supported by the Dems.
Anyone surprised?
