Families
Your family refund, with child credits
Most U4U and TPS families file as US residents and get the Child Tax Credit. See what your family gets.
Which situation is yours?
Your tax status depends on how long you've been in the US — not on whether you have a green card.
Resident for tax
You file Form 1040 with the standard deduction, like other US residents.
Children & spouse
You may qualify for credits such as the Child Tax Credit. Family members without an SSN may need an ITIN — we get it for you.
Remote work or income from home
US residents report income from all countries. Tax already paid abroad can often be credited, so you don't pay twice.
Money in Ukraine
Accounts and income in Ukraine
As a US resident you report income from everywhere. It sounds scary; it isn't. Tick what applies to you.
Uber, DoorDash or your own business?
Many newcomers start with gig or freelance work. That income is reported on a 1099 and needs Schedule C — and you can deduct business costs like mileage. We handle it with your personal return.
Business & self-employed →What you'll need
- SSN or ITIN for you and your family
- Passport and I-94 or work permit (EAD)
- W-2 and/or 1099 forms
- Date you arrived in the US
- Information about income from abroad
Your status and taxes
From parole to green card: what changes in your taxes

U4U & TPS tax questions
Do I have to file a US tax return?
If you earned income in the US above the filing threshold, yes. Even with lower income, filing can get you a refund of withheld tax or credits.
Am I a resident or a nonresident?
For taxes, it depends on your days in the US (the substantial presence test). Most U4U and TPS holders who live here most of the year are residents. We check it for you.
Do I report income from Ukraine?
As a US tax resident, yes — worldwide income is reported. Tax you've paid abroad can usually reduce your US tax.
I haven't filed for previous years. What now?
We can file for up to 3 previous years. If you're owed a refund, the sooner you file, the better.
Will filing taxes affect my immigration status?
We don't give immigration advice. What we can say: filing correctly and on time keeps your tax record clean.
