The Latin Times cited data from the IPC's "Facts about the Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) [1]" in a recent article titled "GOP Amendment Seeks To Deny Child-Tax Refund To Undocumented Children".
"A statement [2] released by her office then said that the credit 'currently costs taxpayers billions', an assertion challenged shortly afterward by Univision analyst Fernando Espuelas in a column [3] for the Hill. Espuelas pointed out that undocumented immigrants often pay taxes using the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), contributing what he described as a “net multibillion-dollar gain for the federal, state and local treasuries, even when factoring in the Child Tax Credit”. The Immigration Policy Center wrote [4] in 2009 that in 2001, the ITIN brought in $300 million in taxes from undocumented filers."
