US tax officials consider adding citizenship question to tax forms: Reuters
IRS officials are weighing two Form 1040 versions, including one with a citizenship checkbox, as immigration enforcement efforts intensify.
- The Internal Revenue Service is debating requiring taxpayers to disclose citizenship status on next year's Form 1040 tax forms, with officials considering a version that includes a check-box for non-U.S. citizens or dual citizens.
- President Donald Trump's administration is pushing to link federal agencies to immigration enforcement, following 2025 efforts by the Treasury Department and Department of Homeland Security to share confidential taxpayer data with immigration officials for deportations.
- Non-Citizens currently use a nine-digit "individual tax identification number" in place of a Social Security number; tax officials have discussed differentiating codes after the IRS erroneously shared data of more than 42,000 taxpayers with DHS in February.
- Nina Olson, executive director of the Center for Taxpayer Rights, criticized the potential policy, saying it is "an effort to terrorize people with certain immigration statuses" and turns the IRS into an agency collaborating with immigration authorities.
- Fear of IRS collaboration with immigration enforcement has fiscal consequences for the U.S. government; The Yale Budget Lab estimated lower tax compliance rates among immigrant communities could lead to a $313 billion loss in federal revenue over the next decade.
