Besides states sales tax, what taxes do illegals pay??

Question

I keep hearing illegals say "we pay taxes". Asides from states sales tax (which everyone has to pay when you purchase something), what taxes do illegals pay??

Not all illegals get a paycheck, most get paid under the table so they do not pay state, federal and social security taxes??

Do illegals pay personal property tax??

Answer 1

They pay Liquor Taxes.

Answer 2

I pay income tax, paycheck.

no property because I don't own a house.

Answer 3

Well, a bunch of illegal immigrants get a number that it's called ITN, which is similar to the SS#. So, they pay the same taxes that anyone else pay. When they have been in the states for some years they may ask for permanent residence. Some of them declare to IRS  the cash they receive, since it may help them to get a green card later on... & yes!!! if they own a property, they pay property taxes... & also, I have met several illegal immigrants who pay hospital's bill...

Answer 4

Most do get a paycheck and pay social security and state taxes.

Answer 5

Not as many illegals are actually paid "under the table" and get taxes deducted from their paychecks every week like you and I do. They can also file their income taxes when they use a tax id # (which a LOT of them do) and dont get quite a large return then we do. So they pay sales tax, state tax and federal tax.. oh wait, they pay more taxes than we do!! I say this because we all pay the same taxes, but Americans get most of their tax money returned to them every year and an illegals gets hardly anything returned to them.

So what was your point again? Are you complaining?  

Answer 6

They eat our taxes. Deport them now. What part of ILLEGAL don't people understand.

The tax system collects its due, even from a class of workers with little likelihood of claiming a refund and no hope of drawing a Social Security check.

Illegal immigrants are paying taxes to Uncle Sam, experts agree. Just how much they pay is hard to determine because the federal government doesn't fully tally it. But the latest figures available indicate it will amount to billions of dollars in federal income, Social Security and Medicare taxes this year. One rough estimate puts the amount of Social Security taxes alone at around $9 billion per year.

Paycheck withholding collects much of the federal tax from illegal workers, just as it does for legal workers.

"The real question is how many of them pay more than they owe. There are undoubtedly hundreds of thousands of people in that situation," Ford said.

Answer 8

State, Federal and sales, if they own a home of course they pay property taxes. Most do not get paid under the table. Please show proof of that statement.  

Answer 9

you are correct bare bones they pay sales tax, added to it would be property taxes if they rent or own (yes some do own) the plus minus argument its really hard to come to a conclusion, for once we don't know how many of them are here, that in it self makes it a challenge to quantify their impact regardless of it been positive or negative.

Answer 10

Mexican households headed by illegals cost more than 26.3 billion USD in 2002 and paid only 16 billion USD in taxes.

MEDICARE $2.5 billion

TREATMENT FOR UNINSURED $2.2 BILLION

FOOD ASSISTANCE $1.9 billion

PRISON & COURT $1.6 billion

FEDERAL AID TO SCHOOLS $1.4 billion

So yes they pay, but nearly enough.

Answer 11

They may pay a few taxes such as state sales tax and thru rent will pay some property taxes.  But, as has been proven with numerous studies the resources these criminals use far out weigh any taxes they contribute to our country.  The major areas they steal resources from the US are:  Criminal Justice (mainly when they rape,kill,plunder, DWI,assault,steal,vandalize, and ID theft), social support (health care that they get for free while Legal citizens who follow the law must pay, school and vocational training for their litters, again if you are here legally and follow the law you are expected to pay your own way, and Retirement benefits.

Answer 12

They don't pay taxes, much like asslan,it's a myth.

Answer 13

of course they pay taxes sales tax and government taxes!!! you don't need a ss# to pay taxes. people assume that immigrants don't have an ss#, so they don't pay taxes, but they are WRONG!! we use a TIN number issued by the government LEGALLY!! so don't go around saying we don't. of course some of them don't but the majority do!!!!!!!

Answer 14

Although they are illegal they do normally have a SS#, it is someone Else's number but they have one to pass employer screening (The I-9 form everyone has to fill out). So the government is collecting taxes and they are paying taxes, it's just the poor chump who's number they give out who is really loosing out.
