Incorrect Address on Tax Form

Hello everyone,

 

I've been married to my USC wife for a year and a half and had my Conditional Green Card approved last year October. It's tax season, and we are planning to file our taxes jointly. My wife works as a part time personal trainer for a gym and recently received a 10-99 by them. Unfortunately, they never updated her new mailing address so the 10-99 has her old address on the form. The mail was however forwarded to our new address (mail forwarding through USPS). My concern is whether this incorrect mailing address will bear some problems when I submit my tax returns as proof of a bonafide marriage when removing the conditions in 1 year from now? My lawyer said it shouldn't be an issue but I just wanted to see if anyone else had some thoughts as it is better to get more than one advice. The 10-99 form shows $4,500 and she also mentioned that she may not be required to file taxes for that small amount. I will consult with an accountant but I am more concerned by the incorrect mailing address.

 

thank you

I highly doubt it. When you provide tax returns as proof of a bonafide marriage, you can provide tax transcripts instead of the actual tax returns. The tax transcripts will only contain the address which you wrote on the tax return (not whatever may have been provided on the 1099 form). You will be able to download tax transcripts within a few months after your tax return is accepted.

 

If you're really worried about this, try and get the address changed on the 1099 form. Wait for the new form; if it seems like it's going to come after the tax file deadline (April 18), you can file for an extension and file your taxes at a later date when you have the CORRECT 1099 form.

No the address on the 1099 will not be a problem.

 

Yes she has to file if she earned over $4050 and is filing Married Filing Separately.

Yes she has to file if you want to file jointly because both spouses must be on the return.

 

And assuming she had money held out of her check for taxes, filing is the only way to get that refund, no matter if she earned under the threshold or not.
