Form I-590 (Registration for Classification as Refugee) 2022

Question 1

What is the purpose of Form I-590?

Answer

Generally, the purpose of Form I-590 is to verify the information provided by an employer under another provision of the federal tax code in order to determine whether that information is accurate. There are two primary purposes that a taxpayer can have on Form I-590: (i) verifying the accuracy of the information provided; and (ii) establishing a taxpayer relationship with the employer. With respect to the first purpose, the use of the information from Forms I-829, I-829EZ, I-829PF, I-829Q, I-829R, I-829T, I-829W, I-829W-A, I-829W-B, and I-829W-C is subject to the requirements of the Act and a taxpayer's obligation to notify the IRS upon the employer's request for the information in these documents. With respect to the second purpose, a taxpayer may use all the information obtained from one or more of the aforementioned documents to obtain information about the employer under another section of the tax code. In these circumstances, the taxpayer has the information necessary to establish the relationship (and, if appropriate, the taxpayer's privilege) to the employer. This is a matter best left to the discretion of the Tax Court. What is the purpose of Form 6251? Although Form 6251 is not considered to be Form I-590, there is some material similarity between the two forms. Accordingly, it is important that taxpayers familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Act relating to the purpose of Form 6251 as well as the manner in which an employer may use that information. As discussed below under the section entitled “Form 6251 — Non-employer Identification Number,” the Act creates the NICE, to be used in situations where a taxpayer is unable to obtain information from the employer in the same manner that an employer may use Forms I-829, I-829EZ, I-829PF, I-829Q, I-829R, I-829T, and I-829W.

Question 2

Who should complete Form I-590?

Answer

I-594 Form I-590, Application for Taxpayer Identification Number (FIN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), is also used for those individuals that are age 65 or older. The tax return of an applicant must show that the applicant is at least 65 years old to process Form I-590. An individual's FIN/ITIN does not have a physical address, although it may be in a file in a name that matches the applicant. The tax returns of these individuals must show the FIN/ITIN in an electronic format (e-file) and it must be filed electronically using a secure computer or phone.

Question 3

When do I need to complete Form I-590?

Answer

Generally, if you are making more than 600 in net income, you should complete Form I-590 as soon as you become aware of the potential for income tax liability. Generally, Form I-570 will be completed when you start making more than 600 in net income. You should complete both forms on the same day for the fastest processing time. This is true for Form I-590 if you are working for a corporation. Or you may have to complete both forms on the same day if you are a self-employed person making 600 or more in net income. When do I need to complete Form 8962? Form 8962 forms are due monthly when you earn 6,250 in income (which means 6,250 each month) and pay 1,000 or more in payroll taxes (such as FICA or FTA). You should send Form 8962 as soon as you notice the IRS is due a 6,250 payment. You should use Form 8962 if you are self-employed or making 6,250 or more in net income. If you need to file a separate W-2, you must complete Form 8962 if you are working for a corporation. You should send Form 8962 as soon as you notice the IRS is due the 6,250 payment. You should use Form 8962 if you are working for a corporation. If the IRS issues a notice of deficiency, do I need to make a payment or file a complaint? If the IRS issues a notice of deficiency and determines you owe back income tax and back payment of the penalty, you should pay the money you owe by using an electronic payment or a bank check. You should then file a complaint (Form 4506) with the IRS, who will assess the tax. You should file Form 4506 when you have made all the necessary payment. My employer has already filed Form W-2 for me and has already filed my tax return (Form 1040) but I am still having issues with the IRS. What do I do? If you believe you owe income tax or back taxes, you should file a Form 4506 by the due date (generally, February 15 and February 22, respectively). The IRS will assess the tax. Form 4506 will serve as an alternative to filing a paper Form 1040.

Question 4

Can I create my own Form I-590?

Answer

If you don't own intellectual property of a product being offered to the Department, you must create your own Form I-590 that is not an “RPA” (i.e., Form I-829), a new form to be used for new products only or a new form to be used only for pre-existing or previously-established products that are being transferred to the Department. You can create your own Form I-590 electronically by filling out the online application form or downloading and printing out I-590 Application (PDF). Note: Before creating your own I-590, it will be helpful to obtain the necessary information, documentation, or instructions from your product suppliers so that if you are unable to complete Form I-590 electronically, it can be updated by visiting the RPA Online Help Center, at, or contacting the RPA Online Help Center in writing. Any information supplied by a product supplier with respect to the product being transferred to your Department should accompany your Form I-590. If you cannot create your own Form I-590, you may be able to modify a covered “part 3” (as defined on page 15 of the Federal Register) or a “part 6” (as defined on page 22 of the Federal Register) product. If the modification does not change the scope of the covered “part 3” or “part 6”, you must file Form I-829 to obtain any applicable exemptions. In this case, you may be able to create your own I-590 electronically by filling out the online application form or downloading and printing out I-590 Application (PDF). Also, see the questions that follow if you believe that your RPA will not qualify for an exemption. If you have a proposed new product not covered by chapter 5 or part 6 of the Federal Register and you believe that it will be covered for the first time on or after October 1, 2012, you may be able to create your own Form I-590 by completing the online application form (the I-829, Form W-7, or Form S-8) or by downloading and printing out I-590 Application (PDF) and completing the I-590 Application (PDF) (see Questions 1 through 9 for more information). You can use the software programs on the Application (e.g.

Question 5

What should I do with Form I-590 when it’s complete?

Answer

When the Form I-590 is completed, it should be submitted to the employer who issued the Form I-590 for the employer (or the employer's agent) to be reviewed by the Social Security Administration (SSA). There are circumstances in which an applicant may be required to submit the Form I-590 to the Social Security Administration. The SSA will determine whether you or the employer and/or the employee must submit the Form I-590. For example: If the form is missing one or more pieces of information (e.g., tax forms, income tax withholding, or information on income); If the Form I-590 is incomplete; If the Form I-590 is filed incorrectly (e.g., the correct tax information is not on the form, there is a problem with a statement, etc.); If the Form I-590 is not timely filed (e.g., the form is not filed before the due date under the law, or the applicant has not submitted sufficient income information on time); or If the Form I-590 should not be filed at all or the SSA requires it be filed. If you are required to submit the Form I-590 to the SSA, you may also be expected to include on the Form I-590 the information in the Statement to Applicant. This statement would include the name of the employer (or the employee) who issued the Form I-590, the name of the company employing the employee, when and where the Form I-590 was issued, the employee's full name and mailing address, employment pay information, and the employment location in the case of temporary workers, among other things. I-610. What is the purpose of the I-610 form? I-610 is an annual statement that documents a person's earnings and wages (Form I-9), income tax withholding (Form 941), student loan payments (I-730), and some tax-filing information. I-610 is an annual statement that documents a person's earnings and wages (Form I-9), income tax withholding (Form 941), student loan payments (I-730), and some tax-filing information. I-640. What is the purpose of the I-600I-O form? This form is included in the Form I-140, Employment Tax Return, and the IRS sends it to an employer that has filed a Form I-9.

Question 6

How do I get my Form I-590?

Answer

You will need to contact the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) by using the online form. You will need to provide your Social Security number, as well as your alien number in order to complete the online form. Furthermore, you will also need to supply your employer's tax year that will apply at the foreign employer in the form of a PTO form. Upon payment of the tax and USCIS fee we will send your Form I-590 or your I-9W or I-9 (if applicable) in 7-10 business days. How long does it take to fill out and mail out my Form I-590? The time allotted will depend on the number of pages that need to be filled out. After your Form I-590 is approved, there will be a waiting period of up to 10 business days for a copy of your Form I-590 to be sent to you. You may also need to contact your local USCIS office to schedule a time to get your Form I-590 back. What do I need to bring with me to submit my Form I-590? You will also need to have the original of your I-9W, Form I-9, or copy of your I-9 form. We will ask you questions to ensure your proof is correct or as current as you can get from your financial institution. Once you have a completed copy of your Form I-590 and your I-9W or I-9 copies, you will need to bring the original to the USCIS office requesting a form. If I get denied, can I appeal the denial using other documents such as a tax return from the years I have not submitted information or an employment contract stating the position I filled? A Form I-9 or I-9W may be sent in lieu of an original document to show where a foreign employer was located. The I-9 may or may not satisfy the requirements if there are any gaps between your employment date and the present time your Form I-590 is approved by the USCIS. Because I-9's have gaps of up to 5 years, you may need to have a letter from your former employer to substantiate your employment during these 5 years of not accepting payment by the U.S. Government. Please see the “Do I need to use the Form I-9 to prove I was working?” question below.

Question 7

What documents do I need to attach to my Form I-590?

Answer

A. All copies of income tax returns for the taxable year to be provided on Form I-590 must have been filed on or before the due date of such returns. In general, one copy of a return is sufficient to present to SSA. The documents to be attached to Form I-590 must be originals or copies, and be kept on file by the employee for four years. However, if the employee files Form I-590 as an extension of time to file, SSA must furnish the documents and return as soon as practicable. (See Notice 2007-30, 2007-2 C.B. 1.) 1. Forms I-9 (W-2), W-4 (DGE), W-4A and W-4B, W-4C, and W-4E (or equivalent) are acceptable. 2. Copy of a tax return filed with the Federal, State, County and Local governments are acceptable. 3. Copy of the State I-890A for the fiscal year to be applied to the employee's tax return for submission on Form I-590. 4. Copy of the W-8BEN, Form 8-BEN, or a copy of a letter stating an applicant has been selected for this status by an agency. Note: Only one copy of the letter, not more than four copies, may be used for this purpose. 5. Copy of the Federal W-2A. 6. Copy of federal employment tax identification card. 7. Copy of the employee's Form I-9EZ, if applicable. 8. Copy of a written contract, policy or agreement between the employee and employer or between the employer and a government agency, and signed by the employee, setting forth the employee's status, duties, or work condition and the duties, conditions, and compensation of the position for which the contract was made, or providing for work conditions similar to those performed by the employee, and signed by the employee. For example, the contract for a work assignment can be a memorandum of understanding or other written form. 9. Copy of certification of completion by an employer by the Department of Labor as evidence the employee meets requirements of the federal government. The employer must retain an original for its records.

Question 9

How many people fill out Form I-590 each year?

Answer

According to a study by the Tax Policy Center, of the 14.74 million returns filed in fiscal 2009 (the most recent data available), 6.1 million (or nearly 20 percent) were filed by self-employed individuals. Of these, 6.1 million or 17 percent were individuals who had income (and thus also took a tax deduction) from self-employed entities. The other 1.3 million were taxpayers who claimed a credit or an itemized deduction for taxes paid on income from self-employment. The report notes that the Tax Policy Center also estimated the effect of individual-level changes for all taxpayers and found that the average tax cut of taxpayers who took a standard deduction actually increased by 3,000 on average. This is one way to read the Tax Policy Center's conclusion that in 2009, about 17 percent of Americans -- more than 7 million taxpayers -- reported taking a standard deduction. This does not mean that everyone who claimed a standard deduction that year took a tax cut. Rather, it means that more than one-third of taxpayers who took a deduction for taxes paid on income from a self-employment business, as a result of the tax bill in effect prior to 2009, filed a claim on their tax return. However, the report also notes that although this is the most recent data available on these matters, it is in line with the numbers that have been reported, and does not add anything new. For example, the Tax Policy Center estimated that in 2009 about 5.7 million taxpayers claimed a standard deduction, representing about 7 percent of taxpayers with self-employment income. But that has not been the case in the past. One could argue that these numbers underestimate the number of individuals who claimed a standard deduction during prior decades. One could also argue that the estimates of people who claimed a standard deduction for income from self-employment are too low. Both are possible. The report then goes on to break down these standard-deduction figures into three broad categories: individuals with income from their own jobs, workers who do not itemize because they rely on deductions for income, and other taxpayers with incomes from other sources, such as people who paid dividends and income from trusts. These categories of deductions were about equally divided between individuals who took a tax deduction of 20,000-20 million vs. 100,000 to 3 million, and between those who took a deduction for more than 3 million vs.

Question 10

Is there a due date for Form I-590?

Answer

Yes, you'll need to file Form I-590 by April 3 for 2017, but it doesn't have to be filed on April 3 for previous years. What happened after the April 3 filing date? The IRS sends all employers a statement with a reminder that the deadline to file Form I-590 is April 3. If you are a small business and don't want your Form I-290 to be a large number, you may have to make a payment in lieu of filing (PILOT) your I-590 to receive permission for you to continue filing your I-590 online and receive a Form 1099-MISC instead of Form 1099-INT for that year. If I have more than 50 employees, do I have to report that to the IRS during a return-free filing year for 2017? No — you don't have to file a return for any of your returns if more than 50 employees work for you. For example, if you have a total of 10 employees who work 60 hours or more a week, and you file your return for the 2017 tax year on April 15, and you have less than 50 employees, you will not have to file a return on April 15 or report that amount to the IRS. But if your total includes 10 employees who work 40 hours a week, and you file your return on April 15, you will have to provide this information to the IRS. How do I know if my employer has a return-free filing option with the IRS? If your employer has a return-free filing option with the IRS, you generally have to submit your employer's Form I-9 Form for that year within 60 days of the end of the year to use that option. A Form I-9 is what's used to submit your Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-INT that you receive from the IRS. If you are not required to file a Form I-9 for a return-free year, you should use Form I-9. For example, if you file your return before April 3, 2017, on January 31, and you have less than 50 employees, you have to file your Form I-9 for 2017 by April 3. You will also need to report your Form I-590 on your Form I-9.
