What to do about an N-44 and taxes that are due?
I am about to send my application N-400 for citizenship. On the form they ask you if you have any overdue taxes. II did not file my taxes as of yet but I know that I have to pay taxes since I am an independent contractor and did not pay any taxes in advance. Are those taxes from last year considered overdue and do I have to mark “Yes” on the form? And, if yes, what should I give them as an explanation since I do not even know the amount yet I owe? I am planning to send my application tomorrow.

No, this year's tax return is not going to be of relevace if you are filing N-400 now. The USCIS is more concerned with whether you have filed all your tax returns in a timely manner for the time you have been a permanent resident.
