do you owe any federal state or local taxes that are overdue on N-400

[John N 0]

I would like to apply for citizenship, however, I'm behind on my home property tax, besides that, I meet all the qualification to be a U.S citizen, I need to know what would be the best path to take here? as mentioned in the checklist for N400 I need to submit a document that shows that i have filled my tax return and any payment plans to pay the taxes which make sense if I owe to IRS but for the property tax I don't know what I'm supposed to do? just to be clear I have filed all my tax returns. As I contacted my local property tax office last time they just told me to pay as much as you can. any help would be appreciated. Also, i asked a lawyer and she told me to answer NO to this question on n-400 "do you owe any federal state or local taxes that are overdue". Thanks

I beleive the answer would be no based on how the question is asked.  This is from the instructions.

If you have any Federal, state, or local taxes that are overdue, bring:

(1)

A signed agreement from the IRS, state, or local tax office showing you have filed a tax return and arranged to

pay the taxes you owe; and

(2)

Documentation from the IRS, state, or local tax office showing the current status of your repayment program.

 

I believe it is solely asking if you have any Federal, State or Local Income taxes owed based on it asking you if you have filed a tax return. So, in this case I would have to agree with the attorney on this one.

debts aren't includes, as long as you have filed taxes you are good to go

 

the answer is no
