I personally believe the largest tax gap in the USA concerns the employment of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Both much of the tax gap and the illegal immigration issue can be closed @ the same time with one simple action: Advising all companies and/or individuals that hire illegal immigrants, you will follow the law and there can be no deduction of any kind for any payment that is unlawful and by definition a payment to an illegal is unlawful. Therefore produce farmers in California you get to pay income taxes yourselves on all income derived with no deduction for any payments to the illegals. Therefore chicken producers in the South and Oklahoma you get to pay income taxes yourselves on all income derived with no deduction for any payments to the illegals. Small produce farmers in Southern Indiana you get to pay income taxes yourselves on all income derived with no deduction for any payments to the illegals. We tell all income tax preparation firms, that the illegals first broke the USA laws by the illegal entry, we worry about that law first and the preparation of any income tax returns prepared with deductions for illegal immigrants are fraud. We tell all income tax preparation firms, that the illegals first broke the USA laws by the illegal entry, we worry about that law first and you have an obligation to the USA to report anyone that you know is here illegally. Jeff Day EA Evansville, IN If the companies can not take any deductions on their tax returns for the unlawful payments, perhaps they would go back to paying Americans!
