I was not a legal resident and filed taxes for a long time with a false Social Security Number. I am now a legal resident. How should I file my taxes now?

I would suggest scheduling an appointment with a tax attorney and/or a CPA prior to filing your first return as you will want to make sure that are complying with the law and to try and avoid any complications by the prior history of not reporting correctly.

You may contact our office to schedule an appointment if you have further questions or if you need assistance with this issue.
