The IRS doesn't give a shit about citizens. They don't care that people's Social Security files will be screwed up or that they might get taxed again the next year for getting a huge refund. Employers are forbidden from looking too hard at an employees information. Liberal lawyers make sure that no one bothers the illegal aliens here. No concern over the damage done to citizens. One year, the Social Security administration sent out letters to employers who had large numbers of employees with suspect numbers. Liberal lawyers stopped that, claiming it was tantamount to deportation notices. They refuse to do anything to scare illegal aliens or give them the impression that they might face penalties for identity theft or being here illegally.
There are no liberal organizations fighting for citizens who have their credit destroyed, face huge tax bills because of illegals who work using their identity, children who discover they have poor credit and owe bills before they reach 16 and many others who have been denied benefits because an illegal's income is too high or those who have had their Social Security accounts and retirement accounts hijacked by illegal aliens using their identities.
It's not a rare problem and it's not a small problem. Millions of people over the years have faced serious financial problems as a result of an illegal stealing their identity. Local police can't do anything because it's a federal matter. The feds don't do shit most of the time. Little recourse for those affected by this growing problem.
"The IRS has discovered more than 1 million Americans whose Social Security numbers were stolen by illegal immigrants, but officials never bothered to tell the taxpayers themselves, the agency’s inspector general said in a withering new report released Tuesday.
Investigators first alerted the IRS to the problem five years ago, but it’s still not fixed, the inspector general said, and a pilot program meant to test a solution was canceled — and fell woefully short anyway.
As a result, most taxpayers don’t learn that their identities have been stolen and their Social Security files may be screwed up.
“Taxpayers identified as victims of employment-related identity theft are not notified,” the inspector general said.
The report alarmed lawmakers on Capitol Hill, who were shocked that the IRS had gone for so long without fixing the issue.
“It is stunning that the IRS has chosen to aid and abet identity thieves for so long instead of protecting the innocent victims of the theft,” said Sen. Daniel Coats, Indiana Republican.
Victims’ numbers are stolen by illegal immigrants who need to give employers a valid Social Security number in order to get a job. Employers are prohibited from probing too deeply into numbers, even when they suspect fraud.
But the IRS learns of the scam when the illegal immigrants file their taxes using a special Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) the agency doles out chiefly to illegal immigrants as a way of making sure they’re paying taxes even if they’re not supposed to be in the U.S.
Between 2011 and 2015 the agency flagged nearly 1.1 million returns where someone appeared to have stolen a valid Social Security number, the inspector general said."
