Income taxes

I am wondering if all the money, fee's, we pay to the federal government for immigration is a deductible expense.

Nope.

 

The IRS does not allow you to deduct USCIS fees from your income for tax purposes. Nor can you deduct the cost of legal representation for an immigration matter, as this expense does not meet the IRS guideline: a deductible expense must be directly related to the production of income. Transportation to your immigration office, biometrics fees, postage, phone calls, copying charges and all the other expenses of getting a visa are all non-deductible.

The standard deduction for Married, filing jointly is $12,600. You need to exceed this amount before it's worthwhile to itemize deductions. Check the Form 1040 and Schedule D to determine what IS deductible.
