Okay, so tax season is coming up and I'm wondering should I file my taxes. I payed almost 5,000 out of pocket to my college. Should I file for the taxes using that? Or should I just wait until I get a job then file for taxes with that and my pay stubs? HELP . PLEASE. THANK YOU

Hello fellow dreamers, so as of late I've hearing a lot a about a potential immigration reform. I am currently waiting for my approval for deferred action. I have a huge concern here, I have worked for six years at the same job which I acquired using a fake SSN as well as fake birthdate but did use my real name. The concern doesn't come from that however. For those six years, I have not done any taxes whatsoever because I always thought due to my illegal status I wouldn't be able to do them anyway. I never knew about what an ITIN was about until recently that I became familiar with the term on this forum. I'm worried that for a possible immigration reform, one of the very important requirements is to have paid taxes on this country... I was told I could still do taxes for the past three years or two. The other thing is, I have no possession of these W-2 forms or whatever they're called since my workplace does not have my current home address but another which I lived years ago. Does anyone know if I can still acquire these forms If I ask my boss? Do companies keep record of these to provide to employees in case they lose them? I'd highly appreciate any helpful input you may have on this regard, thanks in advance!

"Calling an immigrant “illegal” before the conclusion of immigration proceedings is like calling a criminal defendant “guilty” before a jury has rendered a verdict." So many people that are unaware of the issues of immigration or that are in opposition of the DREAm ACT and DACA are unkowingly and inaccuratly using the term and offending the very people they describe. Everyone has a different case and reason for being in the USA. And many myths have been rendered to the ignorant mind. What's your thoughts? Opinions? Have your friends ever used the term and you corrected them? Or that "undocumented" residents do pay taxes, and so on?
