The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) quietly changed regulations to allow more undocumented immigrants to keep their taxpayer status through a program that is rife with fraud and abuse, and to delay deactivation of immigrant taxpayer status until 2016.
The IRS now prevents peoples’ Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) from automatically expiring after five years as previously mandated. Now immigrants can keep their ITIN so long as they pay taxes at least once in a five-year period.

Pay taxes once in a five year period!!??? How the hell do I get on that gravy train?
Being a citizen makes you a criminal, being outside of the system sets you free....
Oh they file every year. So they can claim the EITC on all the “dependants” south of the Border... They like free Money!
Better change your name
Every Republican in DC who is sitting on his hands while this stuff goes unchallenged is JUST AS GUILTY!
Wasn’t the irs that decided to do this. Was the big guy who told them what to do, just as he told them to harass Republican organizations.
Can I pay only once every five years? Sweet!
The federal government has become corrupt to its core.
Anybody still think the IRS is worried about investigations?
Citizenship is overrated in this day and age in these United States of America.
Senator Harry Reid Sucks-up---Supports Giving Illegal Aliens Tax Credits for Kids Not Even Living in US
Townhall.com | October 30, 2013 | Mike Shedlock / FR Posted by Kaslin
US Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Texas, wants to end the practice of giving illegal immigrants tax credits for kids, but U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., won’t let the House-approved measure H.R. 556 through the Senate.
"The System is Working Fine" says Senator Harry Reid, even though the Joint Committee on Taxation calculates that enactment of H.R. 556 would save taxpayers $24.4 billion over the next decade.
The House of Representatives repeatedly has passed an IRS bill that could save U.S. taxpayers up to $24.4 billion over the next 10 years — but Harry Reid’s Democratic Senate will not hear it.
The Refundable Child Tax Credit Eligibility Verification Reform Act, or H.R. 556, would require tax filers to provide Social Security numbers to claim child tax credits.
Currently, the IRS allows undocumented residents to collect the $1,000 credits for dependents not even living in the country.
Watchdog reported that illegal immigrants received $4.2 billion from the tax agency in just one year. “My bill (targets) billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse. Instead of hitting up taxpayers for even more taxes, Washington needs to go after these billions of dollars,” said Rep. Johnson, R-Texas.
Though the GOP-controlled House has passed Johnson’s measure three times, Senate Majority Leader Reid, D-Nev., refuses to allow the bill to come up for a vote in his chamber. “The IRS has been doling out the credit to tax filers claiming children who do not even live in the country,” Johnson charged.

Welcome to the Obama culture where falsifying US govt documents for govt freebies is a form of "American assimilation."

Just another tax-subsidized Democrat vote-buying scheme.
Bump
Every day, every single day, its a new outrage with this administration. Many times more than once a day. I wonder if we’ll still have a country 2 years from now.
Regulations trump constitutional law. Just ask anyone who owns a business, a farm or ranch or drives a truck.
The kleptocracy is sending the message that obeying the law is for suckers.
This is the kind of thing that gets to me when you hear the Scamnasty advocates claiming those poor Illegal Border Jumping criminals work and pay taxes but get nothing for it.
Yeah Right...and Don’t forget public housing, food stamps, health services, public education.
Normally over at daily caller, theres a huge mix of liberals and conservatives duking it out in the comments section of almost every single article over there. But on this article, the liberals are conspicuously absent from the comments section. Total silence. Crickets. I guess the obama sheep are having such a tough time defending the administration with this one.
What’s the difference between the IRS and ISIS?
Just two letters.
