IRS doesn't tell 1 million taxpayers that illegals stole their


Posted: Aug 31, 2016

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. 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. The IRS says its role is not to enforce immigration laws but rather to collect taxes. The agency issues ITINs to ensure that unauthorized workers can still file tax returns, even if they aren’t supposed to be working in the U.S. ;

So if the IRS does nothing, that means they are complicit - in the theft of SS numbers. Wow.

I know someone whose SS number stolen in the mid 90s. He went to Social Security and told them someone was reporting under his SS number and he wanted to clear it up and they told him flat-out they would not confirm or deny that it was stolen and didn't give him the information that someone else was using it.. so he never cleared it up then.

I had mine stolen and I found out when I went to buy a house. This is dangerous.

This is from a govt agency that sent a threatening letter - when I was around $100 in arrears.

...or face heavy fines, penalties and even criminal charges.

But, of course, those laws do not apply to the government itself. As with so many things (such as labor laws), the federal government has exercised its scandalous privilege of exempting itself from the rules, regulations and laws that it imposes on the private sector.

No wonder the IRS is called the KGB. It makes you wonder, now many of them - are crooks too. We know about the

Tea Party scandal involving the IRS.

Illegals are using Hispanic citizens' information to pass E-Verify. Anyone wonder if those IDs were sold by someone in the IRS instead of stolen? There are bad eggs in every profession.

Here's the best part. An illegal can put you on the hook if it's - discovered he/she earned money

but didn’t pay taxes on it. There was a case a few years ago where a taxpayer was sent a notice from the IRS that they owed $4000. They were threatened, their bank accounts frozen and had to go to court to prove their innocence. All because a Mexican illegal used their Social Security number to get a job and didn't pay taxes.

This is complete BS.

The rule of law versus the rule of man. It's not a new - concept. Dump the rule of law
