I came to US in July 2007 and I claimed my tax treaty to be tax-exempt which is true for 2 years.

I then realized that I might be staying in US for more than 2 years so I changed my status to Tax payer and also filed my 2007 returns with a Check to IRS for the due taxes considering me as a tax-payer. I was adviced to do with the information that it is better to do so and I can always amend my tax forms.

Now I am leaving in October which is under 2 years and I would like to file the amendment form. How do I claim the check I wrote to IRS for the year 2007 now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

File the amended tax return. On this return, you will have a refund.

You will need to file Form 1040X. If you submit Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ, a new, revised Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ will need to be attached to the Form 1040X.

Thanks Atlanta Tax Expert. This means I need to fill the 1040NR again along with 1040X and send it to the correct address depending on my state.

You will send the amended return to the following address regardless of where you are located:
