Hi guys,
First of all, thank you for your support,
My question might have been answered in somewhere else but I didn't find exactly what I needed to know, so I'd appreciate if you guys help me out about this:
(I am a non-resident student on F1 visa and we don't have tax treaty with US),
What happened is, last year for 2007, I filed the wrong form 1040 instead of 1040NR,
(this is the first time I filed tax)
So I got refund around 800$ which I shouldn't have plus I received a stimulus package of 300$.
I found out the mistake this year,so I want to amend it, I am also filing the right form 1040NR for this year 2008,
So, my questions are:
So far, what I found out is that I should file the correct form 1040NR+8843 for 2007 plus 1040X and send it to IRS, but I still have following questions:
When I fill out the correct form I found out that I should have gotton 400 instead of 800, so that means I got 400$ extra from them.
1. Do I send that 400$ back to them with the amended form or Do I send the 1040X only first and wait for their reply? How is the payment made?
2. What about the stimulus package, 300$?where do I send it back and when?
3. what about penalties and interest? Is there a waivent thing for them?
4. I also read If I send the amendment form 1040x before this April 15 I don't have to pay penalty or interest, is it true?or how do I know how much more I should pay them?
5. Also, what about state tax, do they have also amendment or penalty, do I send the same 1040X to them?I also have to pay them some money to them, what should I do?
If someone could guide me to the right procedure, that would be amazing,
thank you all.
Regards
