How important is Tax filing for B1 Visa?

[kitta]

Hi,

I have an interview scheduled for B1 visa very soon. I'm an employee.
I generally pay tax every year but for last year (2012-2013) I missed to pay some balance amount of tax.
Would this affect my visa approval in any way? Kindly let me know how important does tax filing plays here for B1 Visa.

Thank you!!!

main thing they look at it is your income you wrote on the DS160 form. And They can ask for your tax return and salary slip as proof of that income.
tax return should show the income you fill in the form. that is all. they do not care how much taxes you paid or not.

OK... that's good to know.
Thank you so much for the reply.
