Yeap, Filing tax are important guys, specially applying for GC. Usally for tax matters, they go back upto 3 yrs only. thats what i read when I took my tax classes. Well, Harris.. u seem to be the GURU on this, could you tell me where to get info about what type of deduction i am eligible for.. 1. i have moving expense, 2. my part of healtcare cost (my co. matches protion of it but i have the significant contribution) 3. I have undocumentated charitable contribution. (sending money to nepal ;) hehehe JK) 4. I have some student loan from College. 5. I have rental thingy.. 6. Umm I have other insurance.. car.. dental.. etc.. that is not covered by my employer and i am liable 100%. 7. There was a theft incident which was more than 2% of my income for the year of 2005. .. Umm in addition, i have done quite a bit of business travel around us. I worked in MD, for about 4 weeks. in NJ for about 4 weeks. and about a week in Hartford, CT. Do I need to file taxes in those states as well??? I am sure I would need for MD but not sure about NJ and CT. Pls Advise..
