On June 15, 2012, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it would not deport certain undocumented youth who came to the United States as children. Under a directive from the DHS secretary, these youths may be granted a type of temporary permission to stay in the United States called \u201cdeferred action.\u201d The Obama administration called this program Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). This article is designed to provide guidance for tax professionals preparing and filing tax returns for DACA recipients.<\/p>\n

The first thing to note is that DACA recipients are authorized to work in the United States. They are provided with an\u00a0employment authorization document<\/a>\u00a0(EAD) that allows them to work legally. The EAD is also known as a work permit or I-766.<\/p>\n

Once the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issues an EAD work permit, the DACA recipient can apply for a Social Security number (SSN). The Social Security card will read \u201cvalid for work only with DHS authorization.\u201d Use this SSN to file their taxes. Do not use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. Take a look at\u00a0Publication 3535<\/a>\u00a0to see what this Social Security card looks like.<\/p>\n

It is also important to let your DACA clients know\u00a0that the IRS does not share taxpayer information with other government agencies. DACA recipients should not be afraid to file a tax return. Filing a tax return may help them in the future with their immigration case if they need to show compliance with tax requirements, proof of their income or prove their physical presence in the United States.<\/p>\n

Since DACA recipients are eligible to work, they may qualify for the earned income tax credit (EITC). For tax year 2017, this can be up to $6,318 for taxpayers with three or more qualifying children. Make sure to follow due diligence when preparing the tax return. Ask to see a copy of their Social Security card and the EAD work permit. Make sure the work permit is active and not expired.<\/p>\n

DACA recipients may also qualify for the Child Tax Credit, the Child and Dependent Care Credit and the American Opportunity Credit. Their DACA status does not disqualify them from these credits.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the individual mandate does not apply to a DACA recipient. Since they are not \u201clawfully present\u201d in the United States, they do not qualify for the Premium Tax Credit. They also will not face a penalty for not having health insurance. Complete and file Form 8965, Health Coverage Exemptions<\/em>, Part 3, to grant them a health coverage exemption. Use code C: \u201cNot lawfully present in the U.S and not a U.S. citizen or U.S. national.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, if the DACA recipient\u00a0has lawfully present resident or citizen children, they need to make sure the children are insured. The \u201ccode C\u201d exemption only applies to the DACA recipient, not to the lawfully present children. Your DACA client may still face an ACA penalty if their children are not insured and don\u2019t qualify for an exemption.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 5, 2017, the DHS initiated the orderly phase out of the DACA program. The DHS memo made it clear that DACA and work permits (employment authorization documents) will remain valid until their expiration date. To determine when your client\u2019s DACA and work permit expire, check their I-765 Approval Notice or the bottom of their I-766 EAD.<\/p>\n

This is very important. If your DACA client has an expired permit, they are not eligible to receive the EITC. It doesn\u2019t matter if they have a SSN and receive a W-2. For their income to count toward the EITC, they must have earned this income during the period they were authorized to work in the United States. If their permit expired mid-year, you must pro-rate the income they earned and only include the qualifying income in the EITC calculation. This is part of your due diligence.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 9, 2018, Judge William Alsup of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ordered a halt to the federal government\u2019s termination of the DACA program. Alsup granted a preliminary injunction requiring USCIS to begin accepting DACA renewal applications again.<\/p>\n

On April 24, 2018, Judge John D. Bates of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the deportation protections afforded by the DACA program must stay in place and the government must resume accepting new applications. The judge gave the Department of Homeland security 90 days to explain its reasoning for cancelling the program. If the department fails to justify its decision within 90 days, the cancellation of the program will be rescinded and USCIS must begin accepting new applications.<\/p>\n

At this time, the USCIS has\u00a0resumed accepting requests<\/a>\u00a0to renew a grant of deferred action under DACA. The USCIS is not accepting new requests as the administration plans to appeal the most recent court decision.<\/p>\n

The main thing to understand\u00a0when working with DACA clients is that even though they are authorized to work in the United States, they are technically, not lawfully, present. This means that they may be eligible for the EITC, but are not subject to the individual mandate of the ACA. If your DACA clients are receiving the EITC, take extra steps to verify their work permit and make sure the income they\u2019re using to qualify for the EITC was earned during a period when their work permit was active.<\/p>\n
