Hi all!

This is such a lovely forum and so informational! I'm glad to be here : )

My question for you today is regarding past jobs/taxes for the G325 form. I'm just a year out of college so the past five years basically includes my college life plus this past year (I make more than enough for the minimum poverty line now).

In the summer of 2004 and summer 2005 I was a nanny for a neighbor for like $6-7 an hour at ages 18 and 19. I realize now that I never filed taxes for those years...it wasn't intentional; it just never crossed my mind that I had to file taxes because wasn't that only what adults did? Yeah, yeah, I was an adult technically then too and ignorance isn't much of an excuse...

Should I try to backfile the taxes? I made less than $3000 each summer, so I'm not even sure that I owe anything on them since the standard deduction would take care of that. After those summers, I got jobs with companies with whom I did pay taxes.

If I don't report the back taxes, should I even report that I had a job back then?

Thanks for the advice.

Taxes are not an issue for you. The "statute of limitations" on personal taxes is 3 years and at no point will you be asked to produce tax returns for more than the past three years (usually one year is all you give copies of).

I doubt it would be necessary to list a teenage babysitting job on the G-325 but if you want to...go ahead. If you have no employement history extending back 5 years...oh well. I am sure it is the same with many young people who were recently students. Just go back 5 years and fill out the G-325 as truthfully as possible.

I don't believe the statute of limitations applies to non-filing of returns which might technically be fraud. You might not even owe taxes depending on how much you earned however.

Thanks guys. Gary, I'm a nurse so I make very good money and am in a very safe job (unionized), so I'm thinking that USCIS won't look too badly on me in my earlier years of being unemployed...after all, I was in college in order to get the degree to get the job, lol.
