    1/2) No, you would need to amend your 2006 tax return and attach Form 3903 to claim the relocation expenses.

    3) If you are married, you can file jointly with your spouse and BOTH of you claim to be treated as resident aliens for all of 2006. Then (and only then) could you claim the tuition credit or deduction on your 2006 tax return.

    If you are single, you would have to file as a non-resident or dual-status alien, in which case the tuition credit/deduction is NOT available to you.
