Congressman Richard Nugent wrote me about a letter about criminals stealing social security numbers and filling fraudulent tax returns. Some of these are done in mass.

He also says that it is illegal immigrants who claim dependents on their tax returns and who receive refunds.

Congressman Richard Nugent is co-sponsoring a bill that would require a valid SS number for anyone to claim the Additional Child Tax Credit.

He is also working on trying to get co-operation between Federal and local LEOs with respect to catching tax defrauders.

Any thoughts on this??

He also wrote that his website is available for tracking progress with the SS number requirement for getting the Additional Child Tax Credit and the matter of tax defrauders. http://nugent.house.gov/
