    Texas Tax 2006 deduction items for a single immigrant?
    I am a single and a fresh immigrant came with green card, live in US from Dec.2005 and start to work from March, 2006.
    I didn't file tax for 2005 since I didn't have income.
    I filed tax return for 2006 by April,2007 prepared by myself. But I only claimed basic tax exemption of income(first $7000). A friend told me there are more I should be able to get deduction.For instance, state sales tax(I bought a used car), relocation cost(since I came from other country)...
    Also, he said I may qualify for non-resident category.
    Now I am thinking to file a tax amendment.
    If you know what's the typical deductible items for a person like me:
    Single, gross income($60000), no-house,no-dependent, live in TX, US since Dec. 2005
    What is the list of the deduction I can claim for credit?
    I appreciate any advice. Please shed some light for american myth tax regulations..
    Many many thanks...

    Hi, lilyzzzz!

    I don't have an answer to your question. But, perhaps by my responding to your question, it will get posted more towards the top of the list and maybe it will get more noticed there.

    I hope that you get an answer from someone who knows taxes.
