Hello friends,

I have seen a lot of people in sajha.com asking for help and getting help too. I also have a situation where I am requesting some help.

I have been out of status for 2 years and living in Texas. I used to work in cash. But, in 2010 I started working in cheque using my SS. This is my first time going to file for taxes. I also have a girlfriend with whom I have been living for 1.5 years in the same residence. She goes to college and in F-1 status. She also work but she gets paid cash. Now, I want to file it online myself. How could I get maximum refund. I want to show her as a dependent. What forms should I file and how? Please please help me. I am so much tensed.

 Tax experts, seeking your opinion.

bro...aru kunai site ma sodhe huncha hola..
aajkal sajha ma help chahi hoina baru jhagada garnu cha ya gaali garnu cha bhane matra post gare huncha...

 tyaso nabhannu na saathi,

auta gharma dherai jaana vaye pachi ta faatta futta jhagada ta bhai halchha ni..

 @hareep: If you're out of status, i wouldn't recommend to file tax buddy. Even though i am not an expert of tax filing but my suggestion would be don't mess with the Fed brother. They can really find you out if they need to. At least for now even though you're out of status, they are letting you stay here but if something happen there will be a big chances you might be deported. But it's just an opinion so don't take it in personally.. 

Tyatro tax tireko chha, file ta garnu paryo ni saathi... 

 tyo ta ho sathi i can understand how every penny that we earn are being cut off for taxes but what if they found out that you're not legal or something bahnera.. huna ta there's no connection in between Income Tax and IRS but what if in the worst case scenario kei bhai halyo bhane, how much do you think you will get back, 2, 3, 4 or 5 K. I don't think more than that, so teti paisa ko lagi why to keep yourself in risk bhanna khojeko ho. It was just my honest opinion, so you don't have to follow, either take it or leave it. Thanks and have a good saturday.. 

Bro,
Do not file. it won't be good for you in your future. everything going bad these days. so my advise do not step up. may be you can be F-2 if you try to get advise with someone.

Take care

PANDORA BRO   --- " huna ta there is no  connection between income tax and IRS"  , K bhanna khojnu bhako sir le , ali prasta pardinu hunchha ki?

I am not a tax expert but i personally know few people who are not in status for last 8 years and been filing their taxes since then. they did this year too and already got their dues back too. Just don't claim too much, do the basic so u can get your federal back. As long as your income doesn't exceed 46k, u will be alright. The irony is if u don't file this year, u have to pay hefty fine when u do next time. It all up to u.

Keep on rockin'

 garibkochoro, sorry about the mistake. that was supposed to be INS nor IRS, my bad and i hope you are aware of what INS means..TY...

Mitra PANDORA, I do know what INS stands for , I kinda got puzzled with your comparision about Income Tax and IRS , thatz why. Ma ta naya kuro sikna paiyela ki bhanera Sir ko dhyan akarsan garya ni.

 garibkochoro, dhanyabad hajur le mero dhyanakarsan garidnu bhayeko ma, sorry about the misconfusion brother. and thanks again 

All the way,
Should I file 1040? Or any other? I am in the same boat. Thanks!

Bhrata PANDORA , confusion bhanya ta thaha thiyo , misconfusion bhanya chahi k paryo ni feri?

"Tyatro tax tireko chha"

Thats nothing in compare to tax paid by US citizen to keep YOU ( an illegal alien) in this country. You SHOULD say thank you and whatever tax you've paid should be considered as Dhakshina to US govt.

१०४० हानी देउ अरु त के नै गर भन्ने सल्लह दिनु

@ Furke. Yes, that's a best option, raja.

I found this from IRS, try to figure out which one can be used to maximize the refund.
