Does an illegal immigrant have any right to the taxes they have to pay out of income, like tax returns?

US Taxes knows no boundaries. What's more interesting is that if you file a tax return, you have three years to collect your refund.  If you don't file or owe, they can go after you forever.\n\nFake ID carries it own penalties, but you still owe the tax.  As far as children in another country, you have to prove you provided for more that 50% of their support and the other spouse isn't claiming them on their return.  The code implies that the child must be in the usa.

Yeah, if your here illegally then yeah you have no rights. But that doesn't mean that if you are here illegally and your kids are freakin born here, the government cant just take away the freaking citizenship of those born here! its a joke!!please!! Not only does this effect the illegals this also effects all those that have green cards. this is also applies to foreign exchange students!\n\nThe freaking NATIONAL SECURITY issue, yeah AMERICA IS ABSOLUTELY FINE IF WE GET RID OF ALL OF THE ILLEGALS!! THIS IS A JOKE!! yeah like this will happen!!\n\nMost immigrants do all the small jobs. then the freakin "WHITE" man says ,"they took our jobs", B.S. No one wants to do the small jobs.instead we hire immigrants and pay them less because those jobs aren't important!\n\nPassing this law is also going to cost too much! Just to hold the immigrants in the freaking deportation place is too much! its just like jail, but not that extreme!!\n\nthink about it, this could effect all of your friendships with latino's, asians, pacific islanders, and any other race out there.\n\nif they pass this law, this country is going down the drain, and it'll be all of our faults because we elect those in office. This reminds me of the JIM CROWE laws from back in the day. HR4437=TROUBLE!

Yep. We have similar problems up in Canada with another ethnic group. We welcome immigrants, if its legal. Otherwise they live for years absorbing money without paying taxes, and sending a good portion of this money back to their home countries, where it is no longer is able to add to the nations economy.\n\nBTW-illsuitedwan... what's your definition of illegal???Illegals do NOT pay taxes, they are paid under the table (illegally) to avoid getting caught.As soon as the IRS recieves tax information on an illegal, the department of immigration is notified and deportation process begins.  Unless unemployment in the US (and Canada for that matter) is at zero percent which it has never been.  then there are 'legal' citizens who need the work, and would pay taxes. Employers get away with hiring illegals and paying them far less than the minimum wage (because they're illegal), automatically putting these people below the poverty line. So how is this helping them?

Only to the extent a native born US citizen would have to do so.  \n\nThe Federal government does not levy taxes on assets.  States may levy taxes on assets, but those assets must be in the state.\n\nBoth the Federal government and state governments levy taxes on income.  The federal government levy taxes on income of US citizens regardless of where the income was earned.  However, the US also has treaties with many countries to avoid having the same income taxed both by the country in which it was earned and the US.  While each treaty has its own provisions, in general a US citizen or permanent resident who earns income overseas is given a credit against US taxes on that income equal to the amount of tax paid to the country in which the income is earned.  \n\nUS states may only tax income earned within the state.

ILLEGALS PAY TAXES and this is why there are so many.  It is impossible to become legal....it is called oppression in my book.  To become legal at least for the Mexicans.....They have to apply and wait at least 15 years for a denial or acceptance.  Lets use an analogy..  My child graduated high school at 18 years old....then has to wait 15 years to be gainfully employed....that means he will be 33 years old before he is able to become employed....what sense does that make....in the meantime what does he do to support himself?  Here are my thoughts on why this situation is as it is and will continue to stay as so:\n\nI don't wish to offend you but I do wish to inform you..... There is no TAX Free money in regards to the majority of the illegals.... unless they work in cash paying jobs ... like construction for example... Lots of people hide in the construction business for that very reason..... illegals are just working in construction. We have American dead beat dads who work in it too so they get easy money under the table as we call it so as not to pay child support. Most industries pay with payroll checks. If an illegal works in an industry that does pay with payroll checks then the appropriate federal and state taxes are removed. I recently did a spot check on payroll checks from the main industry in my town from 4 different illegal pay stubs..... 2 from poultry and 2 from restaurants. I did an estimate based on those 4 pay stubs in regards to the shifts worked at each one of those industries. I had an estimate of State taxes paid in to my state of $64,000.00. I did not figure up the Federal Taxes but you best believe that they have been raking it in also. Please keep in mind that the county that I live in is not ranked among the largest in my state. I would love to be able to do a State wide survey, but the problem is getting people to trust you not to use their information against them. You may be surprised to also be informed that at least 2 of these people had health insurance for which they paid for & utilized, they also had an additional voluntary $5.00 taken out each week as a donation for United Way Fund. I did no guesstimates on those donations, but just these 2 people alone donate a solid figure of $520.00 @ year which has to be noted as community service. IT WAS A REAL EYE OPENER TO ME. Please understand that the illegal does not file federal income taxes.... he does fall in a low income category and would be eligible to receive most of his tax money paid in as refunds... now do you really think that our government wants to make them legal so they have to give that money back ..... NO, of course not. The fence is going to be a joke. Who cares build the fence. The American public has clamored that they wish for this atrocity to be built. Then once all those billions of dollars are sunk into the building of this shameful wall......there will be no money for mass deportations...You seed this is why the government is building this wall... We all know that it will not serve the purpose for which it is built....They didn't even build a levy that could protect New Orleans..... the illegals crossing are just as unpredictable.....Build the fence so they will be able to say later well we don't have the money now for deportations.......Also you will see discounts on ladders on the other side of the border. You just need a ladder to safely scale the wall without a scratch. .THE POLITICIANS DO NOT WANT TO SEND THE ILLEGAL BACK

Mexican foreign nationals who work in this country ARE paying for Social Security and other "taxes".  The American employers who criminally invite and hire undocumented foreign nationals withhold those taxes and Social Security from their pay and keep it for themselves.

No, an alien holds a card to stay and work for a limited time and is not a resident either, only holds temporary residency. An illegal cannot have employment authorization because he came in undocumented and as such, is not entitled to green cards or residency. You can't do things backwards and expect to jump ahead of those in line. Be considerate of others and the U.S. will be very considerate to you.

There is a difference between being an immigrant and being an Illegal Immigrant.  All of them are required to pay taxes by the same laws that we live under.  You say they don't pay taxes, yes they can not get out of paying sales taxes, gasoline taxes, property taxes through their rent and vehicles.  There are two types of Illegal Alien's those who have sneaked into the country and those who came here legally and for whatever reason they have become illegal for some reason.  I feel that these are two very different cases and should be treated as such.  Many of those that came here legally and became illegal after being in the country for a period of time are just victims of a system of beuacracy that runs to slow.  These cases should be allowed to remain in the country until the INS makes a final determination on their case.\n\nWhile we have many other of those that have come to this country illegally that are abusing our system, we also are taking advantage of them as well.  We pay them less than minimum wage work them long hours in jobs that Americans will not do. While we would like to get them out of the picture they are also a very important part of our economy.  They may take American Jobs, they also take jobs Americans won't take.  They do them for less than an American will work for.  Many of these jobs would not exist as profitable for the employer without being paid for at a reduced rate.\n\nI am not arguing that we should just turn our back on the problem, rather I would like to see the system work without anyone getting abused, which is exactly what we are doing to these people now.  Everyone needs to wake up to the fact that we have created this problem and it has grown larger than the institution that we have to control it and both sides of this problem are getting abused in a different way.  Something needs to be worked out to have the manpower to eliminate the problem and then it needs to be done with integraty and dignity for all of those involved.  Then we as Americans will have to decide how to do the jobs that they are doing for us.  Americans have overcome much greater obsticles in our history and it is time to do it again.

Not ALL people from another country are illegal . Just the people who come here without permission to do so and stay here and don't pay taxes.  Yeah, that's pretty illegal.  On the other hand, if someone comes here with a green card or something legal like that; it's all good.

Legal immigrants are allowed to have MOST of teh rights to which citizens are entitled.  In general, this includes ownership of property, and  the right to keep and bear arms.

I think your question is really a disguised form of polemic. I see what you're trying to say here, but you miss the point entirely. The argument that has been made by many illegal immigrants is that because they pay taxes "like everybody else" they should be entitled to the same rights, like everybody else. I take issue with the contention that they do pay taxes like everyone else, and I also disagree with any argument that attempts to connect illegal citizenship with a sort of moral/ethical argument that supposedly supercedes a nation's legal authority. For one, illegal immigrants do not always pay their taxes (often a reason why they are hired in the first place is because they do not have any documentation and their work is paid in cash, under the table, so that no one pays any taxes on it). Furthermore, some studies have estimated that illegal immigrants actually receive much more income in the form of government support than they actually contribute (i.e. they are net tax loss for the government). As far as your moral implied argument that illegal immigrants- by virtue of their tax "contributions"- are owed something by the US government, I ask you the following: imagine that you move to any other country other than the United States- say Venezuela, or China, or Germany- and using the same illicit means, you find a job in these countries and then make a claim that these countries somehow "owe" you something. Hard to imagine? Why in the world is breaking American laws any more moral or ethical than breaking the laws in any other country around the world? The entire idea of sovereignty is that a country has a right- and a duty- to protect its citizens and to maintain its territorial integrity- including its borders. That duty and responsibility far outweighs any supposed duty to protect citizens from other countries.

Legal immigrants should have all the rights of a natural born citizen. Illegal immigrants should not.Think of it this way. The immigration office that an immigrant goes to when they first come here is like a military issue facility. They get issued their green card, their other papers, and their rights. People who bypass that facility, get none of these.

Only if they go thru the legal process. It already is. Illegals take away a lot. They don't pay taxes, but we pay for thier kids school, doctors and hospital, emergency services, and sometimes food stamps.

report his *ss to the INS.  If he is illegal and is paying on the side..that is to avoid taxes...which is also illegal.  My husband went through the same thing (only he is here on a green card)...and ended up loosing 800.00 (us) because of the guy.  \n\nGet a lawyer (or call...sometimes they will answer a few questions without charging)...and find out if what he did was right.  \n\nI wish we had done this because we lost a lot of money...but we are broke and my husband being muslim did not want to cause havoc in the mosque where both him and the guy that screwed him over attened.  If I had had the money he would have been back where he came from...I didn't like him to begin with..\n\nIf you do report him, make sure that you report him for both taxes (because if he was paying you on the side, he could have still claimed it and messed you up big time) and report him to INS.  This will (hopefully) open their eyes.

I don't think there is a direct law stating that you have to pay but they still make us pay nonetheless. It is definitely a bunch of crap though. Pay your taxes or go to jail.
