Legal Question in Tax Law in California
Reclaim tax return for having dependant
I'm an Indian s/w engineer and was there in CA during Feb, 2001 to Nov, 2001 in pay roll. My then boyfriend stayed there from Oct 2000 to January 2001. He came back to India on January 2001 and we got married. Then I went to USA on February 2001 and returned India on Nov, 2001. I filed my tax return as a single and received my check. Could I file it showing my husband as my dependent? Is there any way I file the tax return once again so that I can get tax benifit having a dependent?

You may file an amended return up to three years after the original filing.
