Hi,
I entered the US with a J-1 visa and became a green card holder during the year. I am still living in the US and I plan on filing a dual-status tax return. I was exempt from tax withholding under a tax treaty before I got my green card.
I have a few questions regarding the itemized deductions I am allowed to list on the schedule A attached to the 1040 form:
1) Can I put the entire state taxes I paid during the year (including those I paid while I was exempt from federal tax), or just the state taxes I paid after getting my green card?
2) same questions regarding my medical expenses. Most of them happened when I was on a J-1 status.
Thank you in advance. Your help is greatly appreciated.
