Hi, it has been a while since I was on here but I got to point where I am going to file for my citizenship and I was going through the form and got to question 8, part 12 on the form, the question is:

Have you called yourself a "non-us resident" on federal, state, local tax return since you became a lawful permanent resident?

 

From waht i can remember i thought it gives you the option to selct permanent resident on your taxes so I am curious what i should put in that box and also what have others put?

 

Thanks for the help guys

USUAL DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A LAWYER!!!

 

If you've only ever filed a 1040A, or 1040-EZ for federal taxes, I think you can safely answer that you have never claimed to be a NON-resident.

 

AFAIK, people on student visas or certain work permits, file a 1040-NR or 1040-NR-EZ (NR for non-resident) and the calculation of tax rates may vary. The US has tax forgiveness treaties for non-resident aliens of certain countries, while certain types of visas exempt the filer from paying SS or Medicare taxes.

 

They want to make sure that you have not taken advantage of these tax breaks since the time you received your green card.
