Illegals are less likely to file a tax return for fear of arrest

While millions of people are trying to have time to file their tax returns before the end of April 18, there are signs that fewer illegal immigrants will want to do this this year compared to last year.

There is a widespread belief that immigrants do not pay taxes. However, the United States Revenue Service (IRS) last year recorded about 4,5 a million people across the country who, without a social security number, filed tax returns.

Many of these people use an individual tax identification number or ITINs.

One of such illegal taxpayers was Axel, who asked not to give his last name because of his immigration status. He came to the USA from Guatemala a few years ago. In his native Spanish he told that he was convinced of the need to file a tax return this year.

«Это моя ответственность, я хочу жить правильно», — сказал он.

Another reason why illegal immigrants file tax returns is the decision of the immigration court. A tax record is considered evidence of a “highly moral character.”

According to the IRS, illegal immigrants paid the country nearly $ 24 billion in federal taxes.

However, due to Donald Trump’s aggressive policies toward illegal immigrants, it’s likely that fewer undocumented people will want to pay taxes.

«Многие из наших клиентов говорят нам, что в прошлые годы они чувствовали больше надежды и видели перспективу гражданства, но в последнее время надежд все меньше», — говорит Макс Мой-Борен из Агентства по развитию экономики в Сан-Франциско.

In general, San Francisco tax officials are talking about an 20% reduction in the number of people filing ITINs. Other states in the country also talk about reducing the number of declarations from illegal immigrants, according to Francine Lipman, who teaches tax law at the University of Nevada.

However, the IRS is prohibited from sharing its information with other government agencies, such as the US Department of Homeland Security, except in certain circumstances.
