Filing tax returns and immigration case

Aside from the fact that all individuals must pay taxes on income earned in the U.S., it is in the best interest of all immigrants, including undocumented immigrants and immigrants who are currently “out of status,” to file income tax returns.

Thus, it is important that you file your tax returns every year so that you are able to present your returns for immigration purposes.

The foregoing examples demonstrate that it is important for all immigrants to file their tax returns. Regardless of your immigration status, even if you are a lawful permanent resident, it is crucial that you file your income tax returns.
