Puerto Rico is part of the USA and all Puertorricans are US citizens by birth (like the rest of the US citizens).
As to the last names, its common to use both (I do) and my SS card uses 2, my license uses my dads and my tax return uses both.
All you have to do is to either use his fathers last name or both. No issues with the IRS. |
Sorry if I insulted you with the question it was not my intention. I should have realized that, his brother went to Puerto Rico last month and did not need a passport, that alone should have tipped me off. Duh!
My CPA was concerned as to what name to use for his paycheck. His legal name here in the states appears to be dads last name only, this is how his DL is and his bank account.
For tax reasons we probably should use his entire name though.
I instructed my CPA to cut his paycheck in his Fathers name and his IRS stuff in both names.
Is this how you do it? Does your bank give you a hard time when a check is made out to both names?
