Illegal Immigrants Received $4.2 Billion In Tax Refunds From IRS

Although not authorized to work in the United States, a growing number of illegal immigrants are receiving billions of dollars in Child Tax credits. According to a recent Treasury audit, the IRS paid $4.2 billion in refundable tax credits to undocumented immigrant workers in 2010. Although non-citizens are barred from working without authorization and from collecting tax benefits, the tax code’s lack of clarity has resulted in a rapid increase in refunds claimed by illegals in recent years.

Refundable tax credits claimed by illegals can result in refunds even when no income tax is withheld or paid, because the credits can exceed the liability for tax. The U.S. tax code does not require a Social Security Number to claim the Additional Child Tax credit, and the IRS continues to pay the credit to ITIN filers.

According to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, the Additional Child Tax Credits claimed by ITIN filers has exploded from $924 million in 2005 to $4.2 billion in 2010. “The payment of Federal funds through this tax benefit appears to provide an additional incentive for aliens to enter, reside, and work in the United States without authorization, which contradicts Federal law and policy to remove such incentives,â€
