The IRS is struggling to ensure that illegal immigrants are able to illegally use Social Security numbers for legitimate purposes, the agency’s head told senators on Tuesday, without allowing the numbers to be used for “bad” reasons.
Asked to explain those practices, Koskinen replied, “What happens in these situations is someone is using a Social Security number to get a job, but they’re filing their tax return with their [taxpayer identification number].” What that means, he said, is that “they are undocumented aliens … . They’re paying taxes. It’s in everybody’s interest to have them pay the taxes they owe.”
As long as the information is being used only to fraudulently obtain jobs, Koskinen said, rather than to claim false tax returns, the agency has an interest in helping them. “The question is whether the Social Security number they’re using to get the job has been stolen. It’s not the normal identity theft situation,” he said.
Makes total sense.
If they my taxes too I’m for it.
America, you’re DOA and don’t even realize it. 👿
Nothing surprises me anymore. 99 percent of politicians are corrupt and America as most of us who are over 50 no longer exists. The Constitution is shat upon. I’m glad that I’m no longer working and paying taxes to this corrupt and incorrigible government. I’ll keep myself happy despite the F-ing government.
“They’re paying taxes. It’s in everybody’s interest to have them pay the taxes they owe.”
is this what it all comes down to?
the politicians are more interested in illegals tax income than your countries future and your well being?
well that’s nice.
what F.D.R. said…
Because we all know Illegal Aliens want to pay taxes…
More.proof that the Washington Politburo will say absolutely anything no matter how preposterous it is!!
Herman Goering would be proud!
Sure, go ahead and help illegals take jobs away from American citizens. Anybody ever thought about THAT?
Washington has its collective head up its collective ass.
Pay taxes?!?
HEY: they “use” their fake 16 children as deductions to pay NOTHING and, when questioned on it a year or two later, they disappear and pop up with a new ID.
More Democrat “logic.”
Using another person’s SSN is illegal, right? So if the Government gets to decide what laws they’re going to enforce, then I should get to decide what laws I want to obey, right?
Right…?
What do you mean, it doesn’t work that way?!
😉
Yeah, it’s all fun and games as long as the IRS gets theirs.
A gal down the street from me got a letter from the IRS last month demanding $4200 in penalties and interest for not claiming all her income.
According to the IRS she had been not only working her full time job in Hayward, but had also been working two full time jobs in Oakland. On advise, she did a credit check, and yes the two illegals had opened phone and utility accounts and rented apartments using her SS#. Not surprisingly, they skipped out on most of the bills.
The IRS has been promoting this kind of stuff for quite a while.
Hold the phone. Didn’t the boy in the White House say, “Not a smidgen of corruption”? No, just sh!t pots full. 🙁
Koskinen needs a number, all right.
One assigned by the Federal BOP.
Wake up and act, America !!

Stir briskly and parade subject around town.
they’ve left out the best part of the story…..that irs employees are FORBIDDEN to notify people whose numbers are being used by someone else….
johnS, your friend might have been notified that her number was being used by someone else, but the irs employee who did that would have been fired…….
What about when those SS# are used to suck benefits from an account they didn’t pay into?
Obviously our so-smart “leaders” haven’t thought that far ahead.
Or have they?
