Immigrant Taxes: What You Need to Know

9/15/20251 min read

Starting a new life in the United States comes with many opportunities—but also new responsibilities. One of the most confusing areas for many immigrants is the U.S. tax system. At Badam Professional Solutions (Badam LLC), we specialize in helping immigrant taxpayers understand their obligations, avoid costly mistakes, and make the most of the benefits available to them.

Why Taxes Can Be Overwhelming for Immigrants

The U.S. tax code is complicated for everyone, but immigrants face unique challenges:

Language barriers – Tax forms and IRS instructions can be difficult to understand if English is not your first language.
Multiple income sources – Many immigrants earn income both in the U.S. and abroad.
Changing status – Your tax obligations can change based on your visa, green card, or citizenship status.
Limited guidance – Free resources are rarely designed with the immigrant experience in mind.

Common Mistakes Immigrant Taxpayers Make

Not filing a return – Some believe that if they don’t owe taxes, they don’t need to file. That’s not true.
Mixing personal and business expenses – A common problem for small business owners and self-employed workers.
Missing tax credits – Many immigrants miss out on valuable credits like the Child Tax Credit or Earned Income Tax Credit.
Overlooking foreign income – If you still earn money abroad, you may need to report it to the IRS
