“저희같은 사람도 세금을 낼수있나요 물론 내야 하는데...방법을 몰라서.....차일피일 미루다보니,,,,,그리고 세금보고시 개인 정보가 세어나가 불리하다는 소리를 들으니 더 못내겠더라구요....정말 개인정보가 추방으로 이여지기도 하는지요 그리고 부부가 따로 세금보고를 해야하나요 잘모르는데 자세한 정보 부탁드립니다”---->As you can see, as long as you earn taxable income in US, regardless of your immigration status, you MUST  report your income to the IRS/your state by filing fed/state returns. The law requires undocumented immigrants to follow the same tax laws as other U.S. residents. They must report income and where required, pay taxes. That’s true even if they are working “off-the-books,” and their employer pays in cash.Whether you must report your income and pay taxes depends on how much you earn. If you are working for an employer who deducts taxes from your pay, you may be due a refund  even if you are undocumented. HOWEVER, even though you pay FICA taxes to SSA, you are NOT subject to Soc Sec benefits. The IRS doesn’t  share immigrants’ personal information with ICE or any other agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“cpa 를 통해야 하나요 아님 개인이 할수있을까요?”---> it depends". you can file yourself as you are not claimed as a depednet by any person.  HOWEVER, there are many factors that should be considered before making the final decision;. If you are single, rent your home, don't have many deductions and don't have any special tax circumstances, the decision is easy. You simply go online to a site such as TurboTax and take advantage of free federal filing. State filings usually have a small cost. NOT,  I guess you need some professional help for your return.
You can file a return without an SSN as long as you want to file fed/state retuns;you can file your return with your ITIN. An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number  is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service. It is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and has a range of 70-88 in the fourth and fifth digit. ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident and nonresident aliens may have a U.S. filing or reporting requirement under the Internal Revenue Code. An ITIN's purpose is to enable people ineligible for SSNs to file taxes. Unlike an SSN, it cannot be used as proof of eligibility for employment. It is against the law to obtain and use an ITIN to give to a prospective landlord for a credit search or to open a bank account. In general, to get an ITIN you must fill out Form W-7 and attach it to a federal income tax return. The IRS takes approximately six to nine weeks to process ITIN applications, after which time it will send you a letter in the mail with your ITIN. You will not receive an ITIN card -- your letter will be the only proof of your ITIN.
