Trump Administration Proposes Citizenship Disclosure for Tax Filers

Why it matters locally: This proposal could significantly impact West Virginians, as it would require all taxpayers, including those in the state, to disclose their citizenship and work authorization status on annual tax forms.

The Trump administration introduced a proposal that would mandate U.S. taxpayers disclose their citizenship and work authorization status to the Internal Revenue Service. This change would integrate into the annual tax form, a document nearly all workers submit each year. The proposed measure aims to gather information on the citizenship and work authorization standing of individuals filing taxes.
