Question: Accuracy of employment/school history on N-400?

I’m filling the N-400 as we speak. I have been through many jobs in the past 5 years, 3 of them have been stable. One of them I worked for 1 day and quit. I received payment for my services (W-2). I don’t think I included that day of pay in my taxes either.

I also worked for another company for 3 months but left afterwards.

Do these details need to be included? They don’t seem too significant in terms of my career or academic history.

I was also going to school at the time. Unfortunately the schools I went to don’t have academic calendars online for the years I attended. Should I just approximate the dates based on their current academic calendar? Usually they’re only off by at most a week.

Any suggestions or clarifications on the matter will be helpful.

Thanks.

Answer: List all your jobs worked, even the one day one. They are asking for this information for the background check, not because they care about your career.
Yes, it is fine to approximate dates if you don’t know the exact ones

Question: Is there a website that has a calculator for federal taxes that we’ll be filing in 2009?

The only ones I seem to be able to find are still from the 2007 taxes.

Will the 2008 taxes be any different? Any new changes?
Ali- the H&R Block website has the 2007 calculator. I tried there first because that’s where I file my taxes.

Answer: No. We won’t know until Obama takes office. Things could change in the Revenue Code and that could be retroactive to 2009 filing for 2008 tax year.

Tax rates will not change though, but different credits and deductions, etc could be modified.

Question: My Ex-husband owes 120,000 + in back child support. he skips from state to state. Now in California. Help!!?

He seems to avoid arrest warrant’s. His tax’s have never been intercepted. He inherited 78,000 and is expected to receive more and hides it in his new mother -in law’s checking account. He still has a California driver’s license. He was arrested in Wyoming and bonded out and skipped to California. His name is Anthony Conticello and if anyone knows him or where he is please e-mail me. He lives around Taft California. I am at wit’s end.

Answer: The deadbeat parents act is a federal law wherein he will be charged with a federal crime. He could be thrown in prison as well as be required to pay restitution. Your state child support enforcement agency should be on top of this case assuming that you have file open with the. Child support enforcement is required to provide you with services regardless of your income. So, you should open a case w/ them immediately. Furthermore, your should take action to perfect a lien against any personal or real property that he may own. You can then take action to levy the property through your states procedures and have the property sold. If your state child support enforcement agency is failing to help you, then you should contact your state congressional leaders so they can make inquiries as to why your the state child support agency is failing to take action properly on your case. State child support enforcement agencies receive federal funding and they are obligated to take action on your case. so you need to put pressure on them.
