I moved to the states last year in October and filed my taxes on-time. I was self-employed and paid all my taxes, however due to not paying quarterly taxes last year, the IRS assessed my paper tax return and determined that I owe some penalties (less than $100). I just paid them by logging into my IRS account.
Will this penalty be an issue when applying for naturalization? I know naturalization is so far out (can’t apply until 2027) but I really want to make sure I set myself up properly and do everything on time.
To make this possible, I’m going to try to get my quarterly payments sorted starting next month. I’m just concerned because I realized I skipped Q1 and Q2 payments for 2023 - will those penalties be an issue when it comes to my application for N400? Will paying them off keep me in the clear?
Thanks.
