Tax Day: Illegal workers using IRS-approved IDs to pay up
Tagged: social security numbersPosted on: April 17th, 2007“The IRS began issuing these IDs in 1996 for foreigners who did not qualify for Social Security numbers but earned income legally in the United States.
Since then, more than 10 million of these numbers have been issued, including a record 1.5 million last year, according to the IRS. Although precise numbers aren’t available, most of those IDs have been used by illegal immigrants, according to a 2004 report by the Government Accountability Office.”
