Suggestion- file an amended 2008 return.
And note: the IRS pays interest of refunds of amended returns! Don't forget the amended state return too, though they may not pay interest.
He dated it Dec 31st, 2008 and sent it in a few days later. His acct says clearly 2009. thanks!
Now you're contradicting yourself!
If he in fact mailed it on January 2, 2009, he can then list it on his 2009 Schedule A. However, by doing it the way he did, he has a possible documentation problem should there ever be an examination.
