Taxes

Okay need some input from people that have recently dealt with the Consulate in Kingston Jamaica. How many years of taxes do you need and if you owe will that get your visa denied?

thanks

If you owe back taxes you must show that you have a payment plan with the IRS to pay the back owed taxes, if not then the consular will deduct the total amount owed from your eligibile income and this will decrease your income.

To my understanding they want the last three years. Federal only!!!! If you owe taxes that will not have anything to do with your case. In fact, how will they know. When you submit your federal tax face sheet they are looking at your gross income for the year, and the household total,example I claim my father and brother on my taxes as a deduction,and they do not live with me, so on taxes my house hold size is 3,but for the poverty guidelines if I add my husband and step-son my total household size will be 5. Lastly, they will see that you owe,but it's not like they will ask you if you paid them , or you up a payment plan and having oweing back taxes doesn't mean you are delinquent.

Don't know where you get your information from, but if you owe the federal government taxes, and they have put a judgement against you, the federal govt will know. Owning back taxes will effect your case point blank. The only thing that will not have a negative impact on your visa petition will be BAD Credit.

Okay, I see where this conversation is going! anyway the question never indicated anything about a "JUDGEMENT" too me when you say owe taxes my thoughts are "when you file your taxes you owe vs. getting a refund" so, therfore you have the options to pay or make payment arrangements. So if that is the case why would that be considered a judgement? In fact that is not a judgement. Most US citizens have owed taxes spmetime in their lives.However, if you pay them are make arrangements it will not be a judgment. And I cannot see how that will an effect on a visa case. These are only my thoughts!!!! I never said I was 100% correct, sooooo no need to have a nasty reply. this site is to help , and I was on going on what my thought were!!!! some ppl are such a debbie downer.
