The failure of the IRS to inform taxpayers that their Social Security numbers may have been stolen by illegal aliens did not begin this year An article posted by Newsmax last August (which also cited the Washington Times, which seems to be on top if this issue) said that IRS’ inspector general reported that one million Americans had their Social Security numbers stolen by illegal immigrants, but the IRS did not tell the victims of the thefts.
“The IRS has not established an effective process to ensure that the required notice is sent to the Social Security Administration to alert it of earnings not associated with a victim of employment-related identity theft,” the inspector general’s report said.
The article quoted Senator Daniel Coats (R-Ind.) who criticized the situation strongly. “It is stunning that the IRS has chosen to aid and abet identity thieves for so long instead of protecting the innocent victims of the theft,” Coats said.
