Hi,

I got married in May 2005 and got my Wife with me to Virginia. Then I changed my job and moved to Florida (1000 miles) relocation.

1) So can I deduct my Wife's air-ticket expense from India to USA ? I heard from my friend that a CPA told him we could deduct moving expenses "IF YOU OR YOUR FAMILY ENTERED THE USA WITHIN THE PAST 12 MONTHS…"! Is that true ? So can I deduct my Wife's Air-ticket since she entered US last summer ?

2) Also What's the exact amout I can deduct for Moving using Car.. is it 22cents / mile or 48.5 cents / mile ? I moved to Florida on September 5th.

3) How much would you charge me for filing my returns through you ?
- I have (2) W-2 forms
- One (1) state tax return (hoping that Florida return is not needed)
- Need to file W-7 for getting ITIN #.
-I have stock transactions last yr & some dividends & interests
-I have wife's Education expenses to be deducted .
- Moving Expenses

Looking forward to hear from you!

Thanks..

Sunil
