n400
I’m going to start the process for my n400, (through marriage) 2 years ago my tax preparer filed me as “single “ mistakenly, my husband and I file our taxes but not jointly, we file separately, for other reasons, will that be a problem when I go for my interview? Is it mandatory to file jointly?

you have a tax preparer, they can file a joint tax to amend the first.

no I did the same I filed together first time then after that it was married but filing separate and now I’m a citizen so it’s not an issue

If married, you can file separately or file jointly. But you cannot file single when married. Contact the tax preparer and ask him or her on how to amend your tax. I hope your husband did not file as single also?

@maria lopez , have your tax preparer amend that return for it to say MARRIED FILING SEPARATE. if you are filing based on 3 year rule, you need last 3 yrs of tax returns. if they see single on any on those, they will consider that fraud and deny you. do that before submitting N400. Amendments need to be mailed so it will take a month to process. do not waste your money before this

@it’s over 🙌🏼 , it’s not an issue if you did not claim to be single while married, she needs to amend that return

@it’s over 🙌🏼 , her tax filing status on that return says otherwise. she clearly states that single was checked off?

why you keep replying to me @Viv Biko I can read I read what she said so she need to get that fix what I was answering to she said “ my husband and I filed our taxes but not jointly filed separately “ that’s what I said shouldn’t be a problem any other problem she need to fix that before her interview,got it

so the only one that need to be fixed is single? married filing separately is ok?
