Stealing Social Security

** In this eye‑opening investigative report, seasoned journalist Bob Siegel pulls back the curtain on a little‑known tax loophole that is allowing millions of undocumented workers to claim massive refunds—often for children who never set foot in the United States. Through secret interviews, anonymized tax documents, and on‑the‑ground reporting in Indiana, the film reveals how the IRS’s Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) system and the Additional Child Tax Credit have been exploited to funnel billions of dollars from American taxpayers back to those who are not legally resident. Whistleblowers describe filing returns for dozens of “dependents” who live abroad, generating refunds that can exceed $10,000 per claim. Despite repeated warnings from the Treasury’s Inspector General, the IRS has done little to stop the abuse, leaving a staggering $4 billion a year slipping through the cracks. “Stealing Social Security” combines hard‑hitting facts, personal stories, and expert analysis to expose a national controversy that touches tax policy, immigration, and government accountability. Viewers will come away with a deeper understanding of how tax law works, why reforms are urgently needed, and what ordinary citizens can do to demand change.**
