are taxes something that are brought to the consulate interview? we are currently waiting for our i-601A waiver approval. My husband has an ITIN but this year my tax guy said he doesn't have to report because he's paid in cash. Last year he was also paid in cash (obviously since he can't legally work) and we had him as under self-employed and we paid quarterly. When my tax guy did it different this year i didn't really say much but now i'm concerned. He's included in the taxes since we're married filing jointly but idk if they will look into the income part and have a problem with it. now i'm worried!!!

Cash IS income. Wow, you need to dump that tax guy yesterday. I would suggest filing amended returns for those years when they were filed incorrectly, lest that come back to cause problems.

Sorry, I may be reading this wrong, but am I reading that when your husband was here illegally you reported his income and paid quarterly taxes for him?  If my reading is correct, then you may have created a big problem with USCIS and your 601 application.  Hopefully I have misread.

Wow is this "Tax Guy" in a firm?   We would NEVER tell anyone not to report income no matter how it is paid.   Last year was correct self employed with estimated payments if needed.   Did you sign the return or your "professional"?  Either case I would amend...
