It's true. The IRS does issue special numbers to illegal immigrants, and
some do pay taxes using them. So I was wrong the other day when I said
that there was no way one could pay taxes without a Social Security
number. (These numbers cannot be used in lieu of an SSN though.)
Interesting, in these times, that the IRS does not share information
about who pays taxes using these special numbers with any other
government agency, including the Department of Homeland Security.
Here's a story from the San Diego Union-Tribune.

My mistake, it seems, was to have searched for an answer to this
question on Government websites!
