Why is the IRS offering Form 1040 in Spanish?

Question

People who only speak Spanish are paid in cash, and their employers don't withold income taxes from their pay packets, so whats the point of making me wade through all of the Spanish versions of their online forms archive just to get the English ones?

Answer 1

If there is even the remotess chance of get some tax money out of beaners that have been living tax free, its worth it.

Answer 2

I guess you haven't been to a full-service car wash lately. Where I live (California) there are alot of Hispanic Spanish-speaking only people employed there. They are not paid in cash - they receive a paycheck from which income tax is withheld, hence the need for tax forms printed in Spanish. Maybe the time and energy you spend complaining about this could be better put to use elsewhere, in a more constructive way.

Answer 3

Your presumptions are wrong.
Many that speak Spanish as a first (or only) language do indeed pay taxes and are here legally.
Also, I assume English is your native language?
Would you like to try and fill out your taxes in another language?
For people that their primary language is Spanish, even if they are able to read English it is much easier to do taxes (which can be a challenge regardless of the language) in a native language.
Personally, I would prefer that it was only English, but since we do not have an official language in America, this is the kind of thing we can expect.

Answer 4

You don't know what you're talking about. There are a lot of people, here and working legally, who are still struggling with English. They are paid by check with taxes withheld.
Sorry that your valuable time is wasted having to looking for the English version of the form.

Answer 5

CHANGE FORMS FROM SPANISH TO ENGLISH

Answer 6

Are you for real?????????? Do you really think that all people that speak only Spanish do not have normal jobs? WOW
