The moral of the story is that we are not wealthy only that with this one exception have played by all the rules ...we are not tax cheats or we would have fouind a clever way to break even for that tax year and we pay alot of tax between the two of us ....we owe 2k none of the tax owed spawned from her income and every yhear before and after has been fine we wanted to get the process started and were concerned ...does any one with J.D. after their name have any input ?? thx roger
My wife have been happily married for over 6 years and have done everything perfectly and timely paperwork wise with immigration ....she has come here and graduated in the top 1% in her class at a large state university ...she works making very good money for the world's largest chip maker and has never so much as bounced a check or received a traffic ticket in all 6 years she arrived in June and we were married 75 days later in 2000 so we were married for about 3 months of that tax year and were able to file as a married couple none the less it was a very good year for me and no matter what I did or my accountant did we ended up owing 2157.00 to the IRS and now 6 years later we still owe it we owe no other IRS debt jointly and her credit is perfect and deep....I saw a question about back tax debt on the citizenship form and need to know if answering yes to this question with an explanation and the amount etc. and explaining that she had no earnings for that year at all was only married to me for 3 months of it etc. will be good enough or if we should wait until we pay it off and if we do then how long should we wait in order to file after it's paid a friend of hers who is an Atty said to her it was a huge thing to INS and she would never become a citizen and even after we paid it she would have to wait for 5-7 years to apply. I think this person is full of s&%t help me people my wife is crying and very upset her friend mentioned 8.cfr.316.11
There is something funny with your account. Wife graduate top 1%, works for the largest chip maker (makes a lot of money), what value was in you filing taxes jointly?
Listen....US govt view your tax payment as a commitment to being part of this society...
If you don't pay taxes and you enjoy the finer things in life, then your ability to become a US citizenship is severely impaired, paying taxes is at the core of what is to become a US citizen...
How serious this is? You leave and go back to your home country, any foreign income is taxed or you will owe taxes...
As I coined it "death and taxes are the only absolute certainity in life"...
Go to IRS and ask for all your bills, get a loan from your bank, pay it off. You wife crying isn't going to change a dickens, paying taxes is a must...
Have you ever gone to Macy's to buy a pair of shoes, and told them that you will pay your taxes later? Of course not, taxes is the first thing that they will take from you purchase.....is that serious dude...
Uncle Sam doesn't trust you...hence your salary comes with the tax already taken....
