What this bill would do
The "New Illegal Deduction Elimination Act" aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 regarding wage deductions. It specifies that wages paid to or on behalf of unauthorized aliens cannot be deducted from gross income. The bill establishes a safe harbor for entities participating in the E-Verify Program. It also creates a shared information program between the Social Security Administration, Department of Homeland Security, and the Treasury. Additionally, the act modifies the E-Verify Program to make it permanent and expand its application.
