Hi,
I came to usa in oct 2006 from india. From oct 2006 to MArch 2007 my company deduct taxes in both USA and INDIA. I am planning to ask for a double taxation releif in USA on the amount I have been double taxed when I will file my return in January 2008 - is that possible? Also if yes in jan-2008 can I claim for tax refund on the tax deducted in 2006-2007 financial year. please help

so is there any way I can claim that - maybe now filing Form 1116 seperately or while submitting 2008 return.
