Left the US 60 days into 2004 so I am filing dual status . I have finished my 1040 it appears I am getting a refund

But I sold some stocks and got some dividends AFTER I left the states. The stocks are no problems cause they are 0% tax due to Cdn/US tax treaty but it appears I have to pay tax on the dividends (there was no withholding tax).. . so I owe money on my 1040NR

Since the 1040 refund is greater than the 1040NR amount owned... Do I need to send the IRS money for the 1040NR or will they credit my refund against the money owed?

Okay, I understand... I need to carry relevant items from the 1040 to the 1040NR and figure my tax payable/refundable on the 1040NR...

Pub 519 dual status section isn't very definitive on which items need to be copied. Anybody have a checklist?

No checklist. Only Pub 519.
