Why dont you just say how it is so like that everybody knows the right way 🤔🤔 because you must know. All you doing now is saying inaccurate. 👂👂👂

Got it, thank you. He started working in June 2019.

Ok good, than that's what your going to file with. He would receive a w2 depending on what he does for work for those 6 months. but again make a appointment with the person who does your taxes is better to talk to someone about this is person.

He is from Dominican Republic and wasn't making much money. I don't even know what proof of tax payment from DR IRS would want. Or don't they ask for proof of income tax payment from  foreign country? And what's that got to do with the USA anyway. He wasn't sending me money to pay bills in the USA.... So I wonder if Dominican Republic has a tax agreement with the USA...

My love, how long has your husband being working in the USA?

If he has being working here in the USA forget about DR that doesnt matter they dont pay tax. Your husbands W2s and yours is more than good enough and even if he didnt work you can still file with him and get more money. you can still get a credit because your still together living as a family.

Ok 2 kids and a spouse would get us more. Good to know. 👏

Yes, as a family. You will see, talk to your tax professional ask them to give you an estimate for both "married filing separately" and "married filing jointly" with your dependents of course like that you will be able to see the numbers. after that you can go from there.

A couple has to file taxes jointly the first year????  That is absolutely false.....

ok.

My apologies.  I misinterpreted your post.........you are likely correct......but taxes can get pretty complex....especially the first year for a new immigrant.

I understand, but that's what I do Im a tax professional. 

The best thing she can do is talk to the person who is going to file for her, there she can ask all the questions she may have. Also, For my understand you have to file together the first years for a new immigrant. having a bank account and being in their apartment lease is not good enough for immigration.

Why file together with just the kids?  She has a spouse......

what? Im telling her to file "married filing jointly" with her spouse. She said she has kids so there is her "dependents". she will get a lot more on her refund.

Sorry, my question is trying to figure out which option would give me a bigger refund. Thought that was clear in my post but maybe not. Sorry about that confusion. I want to get the biggest refund and hence why I'm thinking of filing separately.

It was clear to me, but my love filing "married filing separately" wont give you a bigger refund. If you file together with your kids as a dependent you will get a lot more. 

Hey everyone, has anyone received interview letter this month?

HOH is not possible for the OP. That requires living apart for at least the last 6 months of the tax year.

I know that, but she wants to know if she will get a bigger refund by filing "Married filing separately" and she wont.  

10 minutes ago, missileman said:

In your situation, your family  would almost certainly benefit from filing jointly.........you should compare the calculation for the taxes for BOTH spouses filing separately versus filing a joint return.......then make your decision.......or consult a competent tax preparer.

 

 

That is incorrect........Any married couple can file as "Married filing separately" if they want.

Yes they can, but they will not get as much as money if they file "married filing seperately" you better of filing "head of household".

Hi guys.... I think I would get a bigger refund if I file "married filing separately". My husband started working in the USA in June 2019. He arrived in the USA on February 9th, 2019 so he has a conditional greencard. Do we need to file joint taxes or can we file separately as married without jeopardizing the permanent greencard application? We have a child together who was born recently in the USA. We have a joint credit and checking account. We also have a joint car insurance and we are both on our apartment lease. Isn't that enough evidence that we are a family?

If you are married you must file together. If you file married filing separately you will not get nothing back.

Hi Sia, About how long did it take for your documents to get accepted by NVC. They sent me an email saying mine are being reviewed but kind of wanted to know a timeline. 

 

Thanks !

Now that takes about 2 months

CR1/IR1 are treated as the same class type as it’s the length of the marriage on the date of entrance into the US that classifies CR1 or IR1 not the interview date. I think what they meant is that CR1/IR1 are scheduled before other classes. Whether or not this is true for this embassy I wouldn’t be able to tell you, but just to clarify

Yes, thank you I was so confuse with what people were saying when it comes to CR1/IR1.

cr1  are first pick then go se on down the bracket

People who are CR1 means that they have less than 2 year married and IR1 is more than 2 years. 

now my question is why will they schedule CR1 first?
