Late Filing of Tax Returns

[sj2011]

Hello Experts,

Regarding Qn 7 (A) on n400: Have you EVER not filed a federal, state, or local tax return since you became a lawful permanent resident?

I have filed my tax returns late (Sept) during couple of years (sough extensions) - generally getting return on federal taxes and owed on state taxes.  would this be considered as not filed (considering not on time in april)? 

Qn7B: If 7A is answered, would you consider your to be a non-US resident?

Yes/No?

I meant to answer NO on both questions since I have filed all the taxes (although late with extensions). Does that sound correct to you? Your expert views are highly appreciated! Thanks!

 

Thanks,

Yes. That would be correct. They are not asking you about taxes filed late.

They care about having filed taxes. Filing late with extensions is allowed, and fine. Don't interpret things into the questions, they don't ask if you filed late, they ask if you filed.
