Taxes and unauthorised work and G325

[lambo 0]

To cut a long story short, my husband and I are going to back file taxes for the last 3 years, and then we will be filing for AOS for me

We will be filing jointly with me obtaining an ITIN number.

I entered the US on the VWP 11 years ago and obviously am out of status.

I supported myself before I got married by doing odd cleaning and babysitting jobs.(cash)

Two lawyers I have spoken with have given me 2 different opinions on declaring the income I earned since we married.

The income in question is approx $5000 per year for the last 3 years. I believe I should declare this for taxes.

When I fill out the G325 employment section, will this cause any issue for the cleaning company I worked for and the lady I babysat for?

Illegal work is forgiven for spouses of US Citizens. Tax evasion is not (and is a felony).

Report the work on the G-325A, and pay the tax.

They have other more important people to go after than a maid service and a mom for employing illegal workers, so I wouldn't worry.
