The Internal Revenue Service is proposing a major overhaul to the annual tax filing process, requiring U.S. taxpayers to disclose their citizenship status and work authorization details on their returns. The move, under consideration by the Trump administration, would expand the information collected from nearly all workers who currently file taxes. Critics may question the necessity of such disclosures, while supporters could argue it strengthens compliance with immigration and tax laws. The change, if implemented, would mark a significant shift in how personal data is reported to federal authorities.


The Trump administration would require U.S. taxpayers to disclose their citizenship and work authorization status to the IRS as part of a proposed change to the annual tax form that nearly all workers file each year.
