Question about K1 Tax.

[Hey 0]

Just a question, is it legal for a joint sponsor to file on their taxes? if so what kind of information would they need? Tax ID number? Social? A number? just wondering thanks everyone.

your question makes very little sense

????????????? clarify

Are you asking if a person who is a co-sponsor can claim the person sponsored as a dependent on their taxes? Only if that person meets the standards set out by the IRS.

Simple answer: No.

The question made sense ... a person who came here on a K1 visa, can they be filed on the co-sponsors taxes as a dependent?

You are confusing everyone because you're posting in the K1 forum, when actually, you have applied to adjust status.

Moving to correct forum.

Sorry for the confusion ... if anyone can help with answering please do so.

I admit, I'm still confused even after knowing what stage of the process you're in. A 'joint sponsor' on a tax return?? Huh??

Or are you talking about form I 864, which is filed at this stage and in which you can use a joint sponsor?

You can file a joint return...wives/husbands typically are not dependents. Its helps to get a SS and you'll need to write a signed statement that you wish you be considered a US resident for tax purposes.

Yes, I meant the form I 864, but it looks like it might be a bit too difficult the way lancer made it sound.

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

Maybe its best to start at the beginning. Where are you exactly in the process of adjustment of status? And regarding taxes are you referring to the 2009 tax year to be filed next year?

[Hey 0]

It would be for 2008, and all I have is a receipt for adjustment of status. Everything else is still pending. It doesn't have to be done, but I was just curious about it. thanks.

Were you married in 2008?
