TAX SEASON Don’t Forgo Your Taxes
With only a few weeks left of tax season, everyone is either scrambling to get their documents together or has already filed. If you’re undocumented in the United States, it’s important to know that you still need to file your taxes. Many may think they don’t have to file because they’re not official citizens. However, if you have a green card or have spent the last 31 days in the U.S. in a tax year or over 183 days over the span of three tax years without a green card, you’ll be required to pay taxes. Keep in mind that while you’re filing your taxes, you are paying for any income tax you have, but only on the money you make in the U.S. The most important thing you can do while filing your taxes is to be completely honest while filing the documents. Don’t declare people who are not actually your dependents and don’t lend out your dependents to someone else. A dependent, as defined by the IRS, is “a person other than the taxpayer or spouse who entitles the taxpayer to claim a dependency exception.” Additionally, be sure to not underreport any income you’re receiving. The IRS will discover it within the next year, and once they do, you will be penalized with significant fees and interest. File your income taxes accurately the first time and avoid future stress and hefty fines. If you’re having a difficult time navigating your
tax documents, there are people who can help you. The IRS has volunteer programs to help certain individuals with their tax preparations, filing, and documentation.
