Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
This bill would turn tax records into a tool for locating and deporting undocumented immigrants. Millions of undocumented people who have been filing taxes using ITINs would have their names, addresses, and family information handed directly to immigration enforcement. This creates a powerful chilling effect: undocumented people would likely stop filing taxes altogether to avoid detection, and those who already filed would have their data available for enforcement actions against them and their family members.
“The Secretary shall, upon written request by the Secretary of Homeland Security for the purpose of enforcing United States immigration laws, disclose the following information with respect to any individual issued an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) under section 6109”
