Please HELP! About taxes while AOS

[laaaabiii]

Hi guys, I hope someone can help my friend.

She is out of status and got married in august to a citizen. She is filing for AOS, she has been working illegally while out of status but has never filed any tax because she was worry she would get deported if irs reports her.

When she filed for AOS, her lawyer told her do not lie and put down the company that she is working for.

My question is, since she is working illgally, should her file her income when her husband file their taxes? if she doesn't file it, will the USCIS question abt the taxes during the interview? If she does, will she get in trouble from irs or uscis and also get her company in trouble???

Anyone has related experience? How do you guys file the tax if married to an out of status spouse?

So should her file her tax this year with her husband even tho her AOS is still in process?

Good questions and concerns! Attorney is correct DON’T EVER LIE ON AOS APPLICATION. Please list all employees past and current. USCIS is more concerned with your honesty so as they ask please respond with the truth.
Her husband cannot jointly file with her claiming and income she “does not have”. Don’t allow your friend to put her foot in her mouth by claiming and income with IRS that technically does not exist.

IRS and USCIS are both government agencies but remember they investigate where there is a need to.

Yes, she is working illegally. She is very worry that since the lawyer put down her employee in the application, the USCIS will question abt why she never file tax and even after they are married

There is nothing to worry about. I worked, I had an ITIN. I told USICIS that I worked and list my company. She will be fine

You are looking for an answer that’s not there. Stop trying to work your mind over , nothing will happens unless you were caught doing bad things and bringing in bad things.
