Hi guys!

I know some of you told me that my husband and I should file a joint tax return. I have overstayed here for 2.5 years, but we have been married all this time. My husband was told that he needed to file as a single man, but cause I wasn't a citizen.

Now, if I speak to a tax person and have them revise his taxes, get an ITIN for me and refile as joint. Will that get me in trouble? We are filing very soon, but I was told that anything that brings attention to me can get me in trouble.

Federal tax law prohibits the IRS from sharing data with other government agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, ensuring illegal immigrants that the tax information will be confidential and not be used to deport them.

"...I was told that anything that brings attention to me can get me in trouble"-yes, but it depends WHO is involved. If you get arrested by a police officer or by an immigration agent - yes, you are in big trouble. Being out of status doesn't really mean that someone is looking for you in particular; just stay away from the police, drive carefully, file your adjustment of status with USCIS and you will be fine! :star:
