first off, here is some info on me:
I came to US in 2002 as a student on F-1, i graduated in june 2006 and worked from june2006 until august of 2007 under TN status. I am now a grad student under F-1 since august 2007.
during years 2002-2005 i filed 1040NR

here is my question: I think that I filed my taxes incorrectly last year; I filed 1040A because i thought i was a resident through the substantial presence test. I now think that this is incorrect because I was not supposed to include days as a student in substantial presence test. Is this correct?
If this is correct, I beleive that I need to refile my taxes for 2006 using a 1040NR, is it possible to do this using 1040X?

thanks in advance,

Yes, for 2006 you will file From 1040X and properly done nonresident tax return will word AMENDED on the top.

For 2007 file resident tax return.

ok, so i just fill out 1040X, as well as the correct 1040NR with the AMENDED written across the top right?

you say i should file resident for 2007, but I am currently a student on F-1, that should be NR shouldn't it?

also, another question or two:

Can I deduct medical expenses ($3500 for Lasik) when using a 1040NR for 2006?

Also, can I take the federal telephone excise tax credit on my 1040NR for 2006?

thanks so much!
