Hi there,
I have filed 1040-EZ instead of filing 1040 NR-EZ for the year 2008 erroneously (I am an F1 student under OPT) and hence got a recovery rebate check of $433 (since I haven't got any stimulus last yr.. I shouldn't get it though !)
Now I found out that I need to file 1040X to amend my tax returns and send 1040NR-EZ along with form 8843 to IRS. But, since I got an over payment of $433 as recovery rebate check, how would I return that money to IRS? Can I mail the check along with the 1040X or Shall I send only the amended forms with 1040X and wait for IRS to mail me about the check?
I request someone to reply me to this issue. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Keerthi
