As one who has been audited thoroughly a number of times, I
notice that the IRS is the one that we respect the most--probably fear
the most--and the last organization that we want to show up at our door
that is going to check to see if we are hiring illegals. So what would happen under this bill is the IRS would show up--we
don't accelerate any audits. The IRS would show up to do a normal audit
under normal terms of identifying businesses that they would normally
audit, and, in the course of that audit, they would run the Social
Security numbers and the identifying information of the employees off
of the I-9 forms that have been required since 1986 and punch them into
E-Verify. If they could verify that all of the employees could work legally in
America, then, fine, no problem, and that employer only has his other
tax issues to worry about. But if E-Verify kicks any of those employees
out--one or more--then the employer has 72 hours' notice to cure, like
they would under any other circumstance, to correct any records that
might need to be corrected. Otherwise, the IRS could look at that and
say: Okay, this million dollars that you wrote off as a business
expense is not a business expense. That goes back into the gross
receipts and shows up at the bottom as net taxable income.
