Well, if an illegal immigrant files taxes, then they're registered in the system and will be thrown out, right? If you're illegally in a country you presumably have to stay hidden in order to not be thrown out, and if you pay taxes you're not hidden anymore.
- marcoperaza 9y agoYes, and you can make the same argument about having to pay taxes on illegal activity and it basically being self-incrimination, an actual constitution right (which staying here illegally is not). The courts have considered the argument and they don't agree. They don't really deport people that way, though. It could certainly happen in the future, but currently they're focusing on criminals and suspected gang members for deportation.
- jwhitlark 9y agoNo. The There are laws against the IRS reporting illegal income to other agencies. If you pay your taxes, the IRS has no problem with you, and any violation you have with another agency is not their problem.
