The Trump administration proposes changes to the U.S. federal income tax form (Form 1040) that would require taxpayers to disclose citizenship and related status information to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The reporting indicates the change would apply to information provided on the annual tax return that nearly all workers submit.
Sources describe the proposal as part of broader adjustments to what information is collected on the 1040. PBS NewsHour specifies that the additional disclosure would cover both citizenship status and work authorization status. The Independent similarly reports that Americans would need to disclose citizenship and residency status as part of the proposed form update. The Winnipeg Free Press repeats the same core claim without adding further detail.
Across outlets, the central points are consistent: the administration’s proposal would modify the standard annual tax filing form and require new government disclosures about citizenship and status, with PBS adding work authorization as an explicit element of the required information.
