Si usted está recién llegado a los Estados Unidos, deberá informarse sobre cuáles son sus responsabilidades tributarias.

En esta página usted encontrará respuestas sobre quién tiene la obligación de presentar una declaración de impuesto federal en los Estados Unidos. Obtenga respuestas a las siguientes preguntas:

¿Cómo sé si tengo la obligación de presentar una declaración de impuesto federal en los Estados Unidos?
¿Determina mi estatus migratorio si debo o no pagar impuestos?
¿Qué beneficios obtendré al presentar una declaración de impuestos?
¿Existen multas por no presentar declaración?

Toda persona que resida en los Estados Unidos, reciba ingresos y cumpla con ciertos requisitos tiene la obligación de presentar una declaración de impuesto federal. La obligación de presentar la declaración no depende de su condición migratoria, sino más bien del nivel de sus ingresos. Presentar la declaración es la ley, y el no cumplir con ella le expone a sanciones, tanto civiles como penales.

La ley requiere un número de identificación a cada persona que aparezca en la declaración de impuesto federal. Por lo general, el Número de Seguro Social, expedido por la Administración del Seguro Social, es el número que aparece en la declaración de impuestos.

Si el contribuyente tiene la obligación de presentar una declaración de impuestos pero no cumple con los requisitos necesarios para obtener un Número de Seguro Social, el contribuyente, si reúne los requisistos, puede solicitar y obtener un Número de Identificación Personal del Contribuyente (ITIN) de parte del Servicio de Impuestos Internos para presentar la declaración.

Usted puede preparar y presentar su declaración por sí mismo o puede solicitar los servicios de algún profesional de impuestos. La declaración se puede presentar en formularios de papel y enviarse por correo. Algunos profesionales de impuesto ofrecen preparación y presentación electrónica.

IRS Plans Jan. 30 Tax Season Opening For 1040 Filers

IRS Plans Jan. 30 Tax Season Opening For 1040 Filers

IR-2013-2, Jan. 8, 2013

WASHINGTON — Following the January tax law changes made by Congress under the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA), the Internal Revenue Service announced today it plans to open the 2013 filing season and begin processing individual income tax returns on Jan. 30.

The IRS will begin accepting tax returns on that date after updating forms and completing programming and testing of its processing systems. This will reflect the bulk of the late tax law changes enacted Jan. 2. The announcement means that the vast majority of tax filers — more than 120 million households — should be able to start filing tax returns starting Jan 30.

The IRS estimates that remaining households will be able to start filing in late February or into March because of the need for more extensive form and processing systems changes. This group includes people claiming residential energy credits, depreciation of property or general business credits. Most of those in this group file more complex tax returns and typically file closer to the April 15 deadline or obtain an extension.

“We have worked hard to open tax season as soon as possible,” IRS Acting Commissioner Steven T. Miller said. “This date ensures we have the time we need to update and test our processing systems.”

The IRS will not process paper tax returns before the anticipated Jan. 30 opening date. There is no advantage to filing on paper before the opening date, and taxpayers will receive their tax refunds much faster by using e-file with direct deposit.

“The best option for taxpayers is to file electronically,” Miller said.

The opening of the filing season follows passage by Congress of an extensive set of tax changes in ATRA on Jan. 1, 2013, with many affecting tax returns for 2012. While the IRS worked to anticipate the late tax law changes as much as possible, the final law required that the IRS update forms and instructions as well as make critical processing system adjustments before it can begin accepting tax returns.

The IRS originally planned to open electronic filing this year on Jan. 22; more than 80 percent of taxpayers filed electronically last year.

Who Can File Starting Jan. 30?

The IRS anticipates that the vast majority of all taxpayers can file starting Jan. 30, regardless of whether they file electronically or on paper. The IRS will be able to accept tax returns affected by the late Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) patch as well as the three major “extender” provisions for people claiming the state and local sales tax deduction, higher education tuition and fees deduction and educator expenses deduction.

Who Can’t File Until Later?

There are several forms affected by the late legislation that require more extensive programming and testing of IRS systems. The IRS hopes to begin accepting tax returns including these tax forms between late February and into March; a specific date will be announced in the near future.

The key forms that require more extensive programming changes include Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits), Form 4562 (Depreciation and Amortization) and Form 3800 (General Business Credit). A full listing of the forms that won’t be accepted until later is available on IRS.gov.

As part of this effort, the IRS will be working closely with the tax software industry and tax professional community to minimize delays and ensure as smooth a tax season as possible under the circumstances.

Updated information will be posted on IRS.gov.
