Will my taxes can hurt my green card?
How can I get my citizenship in the safest way?
Hi, I’m a green card holder almost for 10 years. I’m planning to show IRS a
payment plan for my taxes and apply for the citizenship asap. But I filled my
taxes couple of times in the past and partially paid. I haven’t filed them in
years. Is there any chance they may see that I haven’t paid my taxes even if IRS
agrees on a plan and they think that I broke the green card agreement so they
end up taking everything?

You need to get your taxes in order before you apply for citizenship because you will be asked to provide proof that you have complied with the tax reporting/payment requirements and will not be approved unless you provide this and document compliance.
