Hi all, I need some help and don’t know where to start. After doing my 2025 taxes I realized I fudged my wife and I’s 2024 taxes by excluding her W2/income on married filing jointly. We had gotten a decent refund (around $3,300) and I should have realized it was wrong, but the IRS accepted our return and I didn’t think about it again til I was filing this year. Her income isn’t a ton (we run a small family business) but it was enough of a difference that this year we had to pay about $270 to the IRS. My main concern is she is eligible to apply for citizenship in October (she’s on an unrestricted green card at the moment), and even though on the IRS website it doesn’t look like it’s clocked the issue I don’t want her to potentially go into the citizenship process and it’s spotted and she’s denied (it’s scary enough without this problem). So basically I’m wondering where to start with fixing and paying whatever necessary. Call the IRS or go into H&R? Any advice would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks!
