Alert! HR 3444 would stop billions in tax credits given to illegal aliens!
Legislation by Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) could save taxpayers billions of dollars by preventing illegal aliens from claiming tax credits intended for American citizens and legal residents. HR 3444, the Child Tax Credit Integrity Preservation Act, would require tax filers to provide a valid Social Security number to claim the credits, thereby preventing illegal immigrants from claiming them.
A report from the Treasury Inspector General found that individuals who are not authorized to work in the United States received $4.2 billion in refundable credits in 2010. Currently, the Internal Revenue Service allows individuals filing with an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) to access the child tax credit and the additional child tax credit. The vast majority of those who use an ITIN to file are illegal aliens who cannot obtain a valid SSN.
