    No, you are NOT filing correctly.

    Holders of the G-4 visa are EXEMPT from federal income taxes. If you live in New York, you are also exempt from state income taxes.

    You can amend your 2009, 2010 and 2011 tax returns to correct this error; you CAN still file jointly. It is too late for 2008 and earlier.

    You will need to submit Forms 1040X, 1040 and 8833 (to explain the exempt status).

    If you want my professional help, double-click on my title above and scroll down to my profile/signature. You will find my email address and websites there if you cannot see it on this page.
