GOPDD: IRS Head: Not Our Job To Go After Illegal Immigrants

Apr 13, 2016 by Jen

(Via The Hill) It is not within the Internal Revenue Service’s jurisdiction to go after illegal immigrants who use others’ Social Security numbers just to get jobs, the agency’s commissioner, John Koskinen, said Wednesday.

“Our responsibility is to make sure they pay their taxes,” Koskinen said at a House Small Business Committee hearing. “We have Social Security and immigration authorities and others who enforce that part of the law, and if we start looking behind the system and doing their job for them, we’re going discourage a lot of people from paying the taxes they owe.”
Koskinen’s comments come after remarks he made about undocumented workers using others’ SSNs at a Senate Finance Committee hearing Tuesday.
