Help about n-400 Tax Return

[kirpi 0]

Guys,

I have been dependent last 5 years that's why my father did tax return for all our family.
How should I answer the question 7 on Part 12?
Have you ever not filed a Federal, state, or local tax return since you became a lawful permament resident?
Yes or No?

Please let me know as soon as you can because I will send the forms in an hour.

Best regards,

the simple answer is YES. if i were you.

 

because you actually did file the tax every year under the name of family tax filing.  You were included in the tax filing by your dad. Lots of families choose to file tax together for a whole family,especially you are not minor but still counted as dependent in the tax aspect 

 

you bring your family's tax return transcripts  to the interview. the transcripts is free and can be requested on IRS website. As your father to do that for you. IRS mails to your house. the transcript should have your name on it if you do have income and paid tax.

I think you meant to say NO...since he DID file every year, as a dependent.  

 

The question is have you ever not filed...

 

OP---your answer should be "no" on the form since you did submit taxes every year, and your father would have included your income ($0 or otherwise) just as a dependent.
