Very good to hear...but the way this "friend" was telling me about these things was as if my SSN was second rate or something..

I thought once I got my SSN, then that was it and I would be able to file for any deductions as any other SSN holder, if it be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident or EAD holder etc.

I just want to make sure about this, I may also have to consult with my accountant when I do my taxes.
