I married my husband in Feb. 2011 and he received his greencard in June 2011. He has been in the US on a work visa since 2008. He did not get his taxes for 2010 filed because he did not receive his w-2 from his employers prior to moving out of state. We were expecting a baby in Sept. and meant to get this taken care of, but time got away from us. Here we are, approaching the end of 2011 and realizing that we better get this taken care of. We are in the process of requesting another copy of the w-2 as I assume it's better to file late and pay penalties than not file at all. Does anyone know the implications of not filing taxes during a work visa?

There is no penalty for not filing on time, only if he does not owe taxes. File the taxes now.

Thank you Life's Journey. Letters will be sent to his employers ASAP.
