Re: tax and citizenship
The failure to file taxes may become an issue in an adjudicating officer's finding of good moral character, which is one of the requirements for naturalization. A plausible explanation should be included with your application as to the reasons for your failure to file taxes, as one of the questions addresses this issue on the N-400.
You should consult with an immigration attorney before filing your application.
