Description
Trump’s IRS wants to ask about citizenship on federal tax returns as the agency shares taxpayer records with the Department of Homeland Security. The citizenship question is still a proposal.
Immigration attorney Margaret Hellerstein tells Status Coup what that could mean for immigrant taxpayers. People are expected to file their taxes. Now they have to weigh whether the information they hand over could help ICE find them. Hellerstein explains why that dilemma is already familiar to people showing up for required ICE check-ins.
