Why Do We Make It So Hard For Immigrants To Pay Their Taxes?
Why do we make it so hard for immigrants to pay their federal income taxes? Why do we throw so many roadblocks between them and their civic duty?
Many are citizens, though they may have family members who are not. Some are legal residents and some are undocumented. But wherever you come down on the current immigration debate, it seems beyond dispute that people who want to pay their taxes should be able to do so without getting hopelessly lost in a bureaucratic morass.
The complexity of the tax code makes filing a challenge for nearly everyone. But immigrants face special difficulties the rest of us do not. One revolves around incredibly complex rules for certain credits and exemptions. The other is the process of filing itself. At a recent Tax Policy Center program, a panel of experts described the problems.
Families with children
Claiming tax credits such as the Child Tax Credit, the refundable portion of the CTC, and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is hard enough for native born households. But the rules can become nightmarishly difficult for immigrants with children. Worse, they are different for each credit and exemption.
My Tax Policy Center colleague Elaine Maag has described the challenges for families with children here. In short, children who are U.S. citizens or nationals qualify their households for the CTC, EITC, and dependent exemptions if they live in the United States and both of their parents have Social Security numbers (SSNs); children may be eligible for the dependency exemption alone if they reside in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico and their parents otherwise qualify; children must reside in the US for their households to qualify for the CTC; children must reside in the U.S. and have an SSN for their household to be eligible for the EITC.

Can undocumented immigrants get disability
Qualifying for SSI benefits for a non-citizen is even more complex. To be eligible, you must meet the basic medical requirements for your impairment, but you also must be a” qualified alien” or you must meet one of the predefined conditions for eligibility.
