hi,
I am currently on H-1, but was in OPT(f-1) from Jan 2008-Sep 2008.
i have filed my taxes with a licensed tax filer here in CA. And he claimed my living expenses, boarding expenses, utilites and travelling expenses, while i was on F-1.
Can any one please suggest me if i have filed my taxes correctly?
if not can i now correct it? and how?

i came to US from India in 2005 on F-1 and recently converted to H-1 since Oct 2008. I am currently single.

Any suggestion is very much appreciated.

Looking for one..

Thank you
Swetha

No. These are personal expenses and should not have been deducted.
