What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA
If I buy back previously paid social security benefits- can I file amended returns for the years affected in order to get a refund of federal taxes paid on the social security benefits? Pub. 915 seems to indicate that one has to take a Misc. Itemized deduction for the whole amount even if it's a buy back that spanned several years. This (even as a credit) isn't as advantageous as filing individual amended returns for each of the years. Help??What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
