    Moving Expenses for Previous Year
    Hello,

    I'm from India working in US on H1 B visa. My wife moved from India to US as dependent in 2005. I recently found that I could have deducted my wife's travel expenses under moving during my federal tax filing.

    I'd like to know if there is any chance to file an amendment for year 2005. I have already filed my 2007 taxes also.

    I'd really apprepiate and thank you.
