I want to file my taxes married but separate because I am self employed. I pay estimated taxes and I never get a refund. My wife gets a refund and makes more moneny than I do. I would like to keep the is mess separate when it come to taxes and I have been doing it for years. Does it make a different for immigration wise wether you file joint or separate. It is our preference, what do you think? thanks

Hi John,
Joint tax returns are only one form of evidence of a bona fide marriage. Here are some other suggestions:
-Receipts showing joint obligations for housing and living expenses, such as rent, utilities, telephone, etc
-Joint mortgages, leases, credit accounts, or any other financial obligations including joint ownership of any property
-Any evidence of joint finances, e.g. joint bank accounts, insurance policies, retirement plans, trusts, wills, etc.
-Phone bill, photos, and correspondence between you and your spouse - from before and during the marriage
-Any Correspondence to both spouses from family members e.g. emails or letters
-Any evidence that those who know you and your spouse recognize you as a married couple, such as invitations, cards, correspondence (emails, letters), etc.
-Any other documentation or evidence that shows that the marriage is a genuine marital union.
