I receive the weekly "e-News for Tax Professionals" from the IRS. Issue 2008-16 just arrive in my inbox. Two items in this issue stand out.

1. Stimulus Payments Update

Starting May 2, your clients may be issued their payments. See the schedule.

Check the Economic Stimulus Payments Information Center on IRS.gov for updates. Also in Spanish.
6. Nonresident Aliens May Claim the Child Tax Credit for a Nondependent Child

For tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2004, nonresident aliens may claim the child tax credit on Form 1040NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return, for a nondependent child. Attach Form 8901, Information on Qualifying Children Who Are Not Dependents (For Child Tax Credit) to the return. File amended returns for those who were eligible but didn’t claim the credit for 2005 or 2006, and attach Form 8901.

Can someone explain why we spend tax dollars to translate our government to spanish when English is a requirement to be a citizen?

Can someone tell me why my tax dollars should be going to non-resident aliens?

Can we pay our taxes in pesos?
