The Earned Income Tax Credits tax that Jackson Hewitt was pushing can only be claimed by legal migrants at the federal level.
Some states, including California, also have EITCs that can be claimed above and beyond the federal EITCs. In CA, the illegals qualify for the state level EITCs the same as legals and regular citizens.
I do not know if NY has EITCs or if the illegals are allowed to claim them, but its implied in the video.
Edit to add: The state of CA will give a state issued ITIN # to any illegal who wants one, so as far as CA is concerned, they are legal, even if not recognized by the feds. I am guessing NY is the same.
