An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a 9-digit tax processing number (starting with 9, e.g., 9XX-XX-XXXX) issued by the IRS to individuals required to file U.S. federal taxes who are not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN). It is for tax purposes only, regardless of immigration status.



Illegals get them to steal your jobs

Mother fricker this term pisses me off.

If you didnt pay shite, it isnt a refund. Its free cheese off the backs of the actual net payers. Call it what it is. A free fricking check courtesy of the American tax payer. We are not the same and it should not be called the same thing. Call it broke dick no working mother fricker free money tax check.

Literally every part of Govt has fraud attached to it. Amazing our POS Congress hasn't lifted a finger to stop any of it.

yeah, if you want to argue semantics lots of people aren't getting an actual "refund".



But it sounds nicer. Like snap used to be called food stamps or charity. People got their feelings hurt.

been going on for years like that in Texas. Local used car lots do their best business in the first 4 months of the year because of the tax returns.

What really peed me off, was Biden's allowing tax credits for stay at home children in Mexico

I am grateful this has been fixed.

On the other hand, seems to be a pretty damned obvious abuse of the system. Helps us realize how many elected officials knew and either looked the other way or were complicit. F*ckers.

Hoping Trump can finish the job and nuke the rest of our bullshite federal tax code and get rid of the IRS altogether.

How about a flat tax at a lower rate? Exempt seniors and disabled people. Or if that's not achievable because of the "muh fairness to poor people" crowd, how about a simple 3-tiered structure? Whatever.

Just a simpler code, with lower actual tax rates, and get rid of all these damned loop holes that don't do honest people much good anyway.

The US taxpayer is sitting on $39 trillion of debt, a lot of that debt is untraceable, the US government doesn't know or want to admit where it went. Nothing can shock me when it comes to where our hard earned money was squandered and how much was outright stolen.

Matt Walsh has been on this a lot. He claims if the IRS simply removed this ITIN nonsense, it would take a huge amount of the means of illegal immigration away. And it would be a regulatory not statutory change, so...easy.

All foreign ITIN workers should have to pay at a flat tax at the highest tax bracket with no deductions and Never should they receive a refund of more than they paid
