PoliticsTrump Administration Proposes Citizenship Disclosure on Tax Forms
The Trump administration has proposed a new requirement for US taxpayers to disclose their citizenship and work authorization status on the 2026 IRS Form 1040. Taxpayers and their spouses must certify their status under penalty of law. The Treasury aims to prevent ineligible illegal migrants from claiming refundable tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit. Privacy protections will apply, but sharing with immigration enforcement was not confirmed.
