Filing N-400 (Tax Question) - Under 5 year rule

[Bebe1 78]

Hi all,

 

Will be filing for n-400 under the 5 year rule in a couple of weeks and had a question. Spouse and I are separated but still legally married. Filed my 2018 taxes as MFS (prior years we have always filed MFJ with exception of 2018) Unbeknownst to me she filed her 2018 taxes as Single instead of MFS. Seeing as I will be filing under the 5 years rule which has no bearing on spouse, would this single piece of information mess anything up come naturalization filing/interview. I wonder as part of the naturalization screening if my spouses tax return or mine be called to question?

 

I know she will have to amend her tax return to reflect MFS because we were in fact married as of 12/31/2018.

 

Has anyone had this experience? Just curious to get some input from anyone with a similar issue.

 

Thanks

Nah, I don't think so. She is in the wrong, not you.

I thought so but it's always good to hear from others. I appreciate your response👍
