I paid over 4000 in total to file my 485. In 2015, my working visa will expired so without the green card I cannot work any longer

The best answer should come from a tax attorney. FWIW, I 've always understood that funds spent to acquire permanent residency are not tax deductible.

Unlikely, but that's not an immigration question it's a question you should ask your CPA.

Generally speaking, no, you cannot deduct your immigration-related filing fees or legal fees on your taxes.
