permanent resident tax situation

[goshopbg]

Hi all!

In April I was going to apply for citizenship.But recently I found out that it might be a problem( I did not pay any ss and med taxes for these 5 years).

For the last 5 year I have been filing my tax returns on time and have been paying fed and state taxes.


I do not know if to file N-400 and go to the interview, holping for them not to check my taxes.Or just to wait.Get a lawyer,contact irs and see if that can be fixed.

I do not know how to act.

What is the best think to do? And even I pay off all these taxes,is the USCIS going to accept that and give me the citizenship.

Is there any chance for me to get a payment plan and just start paying the ss and med before the interview?

Do you know if they are going to be fees and interests on the amount due?

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards.

Were you self employed or did your employer make an error? I suspect the source of the error will make a difference in what you should do.

I think you need to discuss your situation with an immigration attorney; he will likely refer you to someone to assist with your tax issues. I suggest that you not do anything about naturalization until speaking with the attorney and creating a plan.

The failure to pay SS and medicare is a minor tax issue and will not harm your natz plans.

I would get this fixed, by contacting a tax specialist and then the IRS, as C4us suggested, but this is not the type of tax evasion that will get your natz rejected.
