Q1 visa filed 1040 instead of 1040nr
hello,
I came to the usa on February 2007 on a Q1 visa.I files my first time taxes on 2008.at the
moment, I didn't know anything about taxes or forms I should file,so I went to that guy
calling
himself an expert and he went and filed a 1040 electronically even if he new that I was a
non-resident.well,I am from Morocco and I made around 13000 dollars on 2007.
this year I was lucky finding that guy who explained to me that I have to file a 1040nr.
I contacted the i.r.s and they told me that I have to send a 1040x with a 1040nr and a 8843.
I went back to that guy who did my taxes wrong and he was trying to explain to me that its
correct,but I confronted him because I know that I don't meet the substantial test requests.
and he ended up filling a 1040x and 1040nr for me,and I just realized that he didn't type
the name of my country correctly (morroco instead of morocco)
well,my questions are :
- am I doing the correct things and filing the correct forms ?
- what part of the 8843 should fill : teachers and trainees?students?. knowing that I
worked as a cultural representative.
- is there a problem if I correct my country name manually since that guy typed it and
printed it wrong?
- I did get the 300 stimulus for 2007, should I pay it back to IRS to ?
- I'm applying for a tourist visa and the case is still pending,so what status should I put on
the 8843?
this is really getting me lost,so I really need your help please
