Trump Administration Proposes Citizenship Disclosure for Tax Filers

Why it matters locally: This proposed federal change to tax filing requirements would directly impact all New Hampshire residents who file taxes, requiring them to disclose citizenship and work authorization status.

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.
