A new Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) report concludes that undocumented immigrants living here in the U.S. pay out an estimated $11.64 billion in annual taxes.
ITEP officials found the payments come in the form of both state and local taxes, detailing how group members shell out an average of about 8 percent of their incomes in its "Undocumented Immigrants' State & Local Tax Contributions" themed study.
"The best evidence suggests that at least 50 percent of undocumented immigrant households currently file income tax returns using Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs), and many who do not file income tax returns still have taxes deducted from their paychecks," the report added.
Researchers added from among the roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants estimated to be living in the U.S. as of 2013, $6.9 billion payments come from sales and excise taxes, $3.6 billion comes from property taxes and the remaining $1.1 billion comes from personal income taxes.
The estimated 8 percent tax average paid by undocumented immigrants is well above the average 5.4 percent paid by the top 1 percent of taxpayers.
