Trump Administration Proposes Citizenship Disclosure for Tax Filers

Why it matters locally: If implemented, this proposal would affect all North Carolina residents who file taxes, requiring them to disclose their citizenship and work authorization status on their annual IRS 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.
