are people who are on supplimental security income(S.S.I.) (not social security) required to pay income taxes?

They are not required to pay, but they must file. From what I have seen, somehow they usually end up getting money back.

If you mean social security the answer is NO!\n\nThe only time any SS is deducted would be if they happened to make a lot of money other than SS.....

You will have to pay income taxes but not sales tax (although that will depend on your state).  Good luck.

You heard incorrect information. Social Security is only paid to people that contribute to the fund. This is normally done by payroll deductions or direct payments by self employed people.

If someone doesn't have a Social Security number (SSN), they can apply for a Individial tax identification number (ITIN) through the IRS.  Only people who are not able to get a SSN would be eligible for the ITIN (i.e. undocumented workers, illegals).  Before my husband got his INS paperwork straightened out (he was illegal), he had an ITIN.  It has the same amount of numbers as a social, but it normally begins with a 9.  This number doesn't mean that you are legally allowed to work, but it allows you to file taxes....I hope this is what you needed.

That is a more complicated question than you can imagine.\n\nIt depends on multiple factors. \n\n1. have you reached normal retirement age? If not, the amount you can earn is less than if you have.\n\n2. you do not loose all of you SSI, if you earn money. Only a percentage.\n\nTo make a long story short, if you have reached normal retirement age, your benefits will not be reduced. If you have not, then are are limits and your benefits are reduced above a limit of $12,480 in an amount of $1 for each $2 you earn above the minimum. \n\nBut!! There is also the question of income taxes to consider. You must pay income taxes on your SS benefit, if your income is above a certain amount. I believe the amount was $44,000 in 2005 for a married couple. That include income normally tax exempt. \n\nThat is the story as I understand it. The government has a habit of making the rules almost totally incomprehensible.

You do NOT need any licensing or required education to prepare federal income taxes.  The IRS does not require any registration or tracking of tax preparers, even though paid preparers must sign all returns & provide their tax ID (which can be a SSN if you are self employed--or you can get a personal tax id # if you don't want to put your SSN on returns).  \n\nHOWEVER, there are penalties for certain types of errors/omissions made by a tax preparer (from the IRS).  So make sure you know what you are doing.\n\nAs far as Illinois, I cannot say.  Call your local H&R Block & ask them if state certification is required they would know.  My guess is that none is required.

Only the illegal ones don't have to pay taxes.  They also get free medical care and if they claim to be over 65, they also get free social security checks.  Since they are undocumented and there is no way to prove they aren't 65, I suspect that most of them will be collecting it.

Only if your employer has a valid alternative. \n\nPrimary example:\nExecutive Summary\nApproximately five million state and local employees are exempt from Social Security and instead participate in retirement plans administered on the state and local levels. The history of those retirement plans provides valuable information for policymakers attempting to reform the federal program.\nhttp://www.socialsecurity.org/pubs/ssps/ssp-16es.html

You need to see an immigration lawyer. They can accurately determine the best course of action. To all you out there who do not believe and illegal alien can pay taxes, I'm here to tell you they can. Some of them have what's called a Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. Same format as a SS# but for taxes only.

Some do pay taxes through stolen social security numbers, and IDs.  And they do get social services using fake IDs. \n\nMost school systems practice "Don't ask, Don't tell", so illegals do get free education funded by taxpayers. \n\nInternal Revenue Service (IRS) does issued TIN (indiv. taxpayer ID number) to illegal aliens, so they can pay taxes.

no this is a fallacy they do not have verifiable social security numbers which you need for public assistance, also those that work often pay taxes and social security on stolen social security numbers and they don't get anything back

It is leagle, but be advised, you do not have to provide them as a condition of employment on an application.  They need only be provided on your W-4 tax form, and any security background questionere, provided there is included on that form a disclosure of your rights and responsibilities regarding your employment, and a privacy act of 1974 disclosure form which you must sign before any of this information can be used by your prospective employer.

You need to file an Income Tax return if you consider yourself a citizen.

If you're working for a business, you pay social security taxes as a percentage on the first dollar you earn. There's no exemption. On the other hand, if you work for a household--let's say as a babysitter--the household would be required to withhold and pay social security taxes for you if you earned more than $1500 in 2006.\n\nIf you babysit for several families, you may be considered self-employed. If that's the case, you may need to pay self-employment tax. That basically means you're paying both halves of social security tax: the half that is normally withheld from your paycheck, and the half your employee pays for you.\n\nTurns out, the best way to avoid social security taxes is to be rich. You pay a much lower rate after the first $94,200 of your 2006 income. And you don't pay any social security taxes on money you make from your money: interest, dividends, or capital gains.

Well.... you dont have to pay INCOME taxes\n\nIRS Form 1040 violates the federal Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and is therefore a legally invalid form. Under the Public Protection clause of the PRA, no person can be penalized for failing to file a 1040 if the IRS fails to fully comply with the PRA.\n\nThe IRS Individual Form 1040 has not and cannot comply with the requirements of the PRA because no existing statute authorizes the IRS to impose or collect the federal income tax from individuals. That lack of bona fide authority makes it impossible for IRS to avoid violating the PRA. IRS Form 1040 has not had a valid OMB(Office of Management and Budget) control number since 1982. \n\nSection 3512 of the PRA, titled “Public Protection” reads as follows: \n\n(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that is subject to this subchapter [44 USCS § § 3501 et seq.] if--\n\n(1) the collection of information does not display a valid control number assigned by the Director in accordance with this subchapter [44 USCS § § 3501 et seq.]; or \n\n(2) the agency fails to inform the person who is to respond to the collection of information that such person is not required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays a valid control number.\n\n(b) The protection provided by this section may be raised in the form of a complete defense, bar, or otherwise at any time during the agency administrative process or judicial action applicable thereto.

no u can't u are subjected to pay taxes wherever u might go or which state u settle in. paying taxes is all part of assisting the government in rendering us services, so without taxes u wouldn't have the necessary help from the govern.
