This bill would require the Treasury Department to share Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) information with the Department of Homeland Security upon request for immigration enforcement purposes. ITINs are issued to individuals who need tax identification numbers but may not be eligible for Social Security numbers, and are used by people to file taxes and obtain loans. The legislation would allow Treasury to disclose names, addresses, filing status, dependent information, and other identifying details to immigration authorities. The bill's sponsors argue that immigrants using ITINs to secure housing loans have contributed to rising home prices and reduced housing availability for American citizens. The measure would take effect immediately upon enactment, with no specific funding or timeline limitations specified in the legislation.
