Nick,

it is a problem because there's a question asking: "have you ever failed to file a tax return" in the N-400 form. She'll need to get on good terms with the IRS, perhaps by filing on her own now, separately, but married.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Thank you Just Bob & NickD. I have asked to either file for the missed year jointly or as "Married filing seperately" and you have said, to get on good terms with the IRS. From what I have found out, they owe close to $5000 to the IRS. I have asked them to speak to the IRS officials and see if they will grant them another scheduled payment. I am not to optimistic on that, and have told the couple they will have to come up with the money and pay in full before filing for Naturalization. I hope my advice was the correct one.

Though not relevant to this forum, I still am hoping that I would receive some sound response. If taxes are not filed somewhere in the past(eg: 2006), can they be filed now? Since in this particular case, I have been told that they need to file for the skipped year. Whats the procedure to file and what sort of explanation is required by the USCIS for that skipped year. The family in question simply abstained from filing. Probably they were not making any money and out of laziness just didn't bother. I know there is no justification for it.

You can file past tax returns - just go to a HR block or a CPA to file back taxes. You need info as in any other tax return preparation - W-2s, 1099s (if applicable), bank info, any interest statements received... I know IRS offices can assist in tax preparation, but not sure if they do it for past years as well.
