Hi All,
Had interview at newark office few weeks back and the officer asked me to file amended taxes for last 6 years and come back for inteview in Mar'2012.
The problem is my wife(we got married in 2005) was outside USA after marriage(5yrs+) and I didn't apply for her ITIN or social sec# till 2008. So, till 2008, I filed taxes as single. In 2009, I applied for her ITIN and then onwards, till date , filed taxes as married.
Now the officer wants me to update the old taxes(2005 to 2008) to married status. Called the IRS and they are saying I can't file amended returns for period older than 3years.
Also, if I amend the taxes from 2005 to 2008, I will get back money from IRS.
What do you want me to do.
1)Should I setup a INFOPASS appointment and tell the officer about the same ?
2) Should I write a letter and attach the IRS publication showing that I can't file amended tax returns that are older than 3 yrs
3) Go ahead and file amended taxes for last 5 years and wait for rejection from IRS
4) Any other option ?????

Thx.
