I’m curious about the topic do illegal immigrants pay taxes. Some sources say that many undocumented workers still pay taxes through payroll deductions, sales tax, or by using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). I’d like to understand how this works in practice and what taxes they are legally required to pay.
 
Yes, many undocumented immigrants in the United States do pay taxes. They often pay sales taxes, property taxes (directly or through rent), and payroll taxes. Some also file income taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) issued by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
According to the IRS, undocumented immigrants are required to pay taxes on their income, but they must use Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) instead of Social Security numbers. They can also claim credits for taxes withheld from their pay, but they cannot file for refunds or claim deductions. It's best to consult a tax professional for guidance on this complex issue.

Yeah, a lot of undocumented immigrants actually do pay taxes. Many have payroll taxes taken from their checks or file using an ITIN, and they also pay everyday taxes like sales tax when they buy things.
