I agree not everyone uses the same tax program and each indivual tax situation is diffrent.

However a person can file MFS using NRA for ss number thru the mail

I am sure not everyone knows how to file the taxes. but if a person is doing someone else taxes they should know if not then they should not do their taxes let alone someone else taxes. There is also instructions and google

So I still say there is no reason to file single if married

Instead of arguing with me, go argue with his accountant and every accountant and tax preparer that does this. I don't know why they can't do it right but obviously they don't because this is not the first time (or even 10th time) this topic has come up in the last 2+ years I've been on VJ.

It's only recently that any tax programs allowed for NRA instead of an actual number.

I think last year was the first time I had read about someone being able to do that on this forum. It's possible that some programs did it before then and I didn't read about it on VJ.

You used to have to file a paper return to get the NRA into the SSN spot.

Umm, I think that person might have been me.

And I forgot to update that actually, my husband only THOUGHT it went through, but then when I asked him to print the transcript for the AOS package, he realised H&R Block actually didn't submit the return and wasn't able to because of the NRA. How he didn't notice this before, I have NO idea, but long story short, we had to print it and mail it :D

I hope the e-filing websites do make it possible to e-file a return of that nature in the near future.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered

October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment

February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

It will 99.99999% not be a problem at all in terms of your interview. A lot of people make that mistake, and if it's questioned, answer honestly that the accountant messed up and you'll be amending it when you get there.

In terms of the IRS, if he is ever audited and it comes up, it might be an issue, but as I said, you can just amend it to a joint return when you move there and get your SSN.

It will not be an issue.. nothing huge at least. He will never be audited based on this. Because if he does get audited by IRS they'll end up owing him money. lol
