Citizenship and taxes

Citizenship and filing taxes

I just became a naturalized US citizen. My wife is a US citizen by birth. My wife and I just filed our taxes for 2019. When I was a Permanent Resident we were filing Form 1040 married filing jointly. This year we did the same (Form 1040 married filing jointly). We always use the same CPA person. When I was a permanent resident, the CPA person knew that I was a permanent resident but not a citizen. When we filed our taxes this year, I was already a US citizen but I forgot to tell the CPA guy that I had become a citizen. So, he filed our taxes as always. Is it going to create me any problems with the IRS or USCIS that I did not mention that I am a citizen now and not a permanent resident? Did I have to mention it anywhere on form 1040 or anywhere else? Maybe the CPA person submitted the information that I was still a permanent resident but not a citizen? Did I have to file taxes in any other way since I am a citizen now? And lastly, if I was processed as a permanent resident is uscis going to think that I’m trying to abandon my US citizenship by stating that I’m still a permanent resident but not a citizen?

I do not believe there is a question about citizenship

 

Do you not get a copy of your tax froms from your cpa each year if he/she does your taxes?? Review the form for the question.

no it will not harm you. That's not a problem. 

second USCIS does not need your tax return anymore since you became USC already. Just relax.😀

There is no requirement to notify IRS when you become a citizen.  The 1040 does not ask.

Permanent residents and citizens file the exact same way on the same forms.  There is no change to how your taxes have been filed in the past.  Your LPR status was never entered on a tax form, nor is your citizenship status.
