Hi,I am F1 student from India.I came USA at 07 and never made any money working,but did filed my tax online for 09 on turbo-tax as student filer. However I wasn't aware about taxation before that and haven't had my tax filed for 07 and 08 and want to file now. I am wondering what can I do now to correct that. In doing so do I end paying IRS money or what.really appreciate your help sir."

Dixit:

If you made NO money in 2007 or 2008, you had NO requirement to file any tax return. Under the U.S.-India Tax Treaty, any income received from India is exempt from U.S. income taxes.

If you filed a tax return for 2009 on-line, then you filed as a resident, and that filing was incorrect.

You SHOULD have filed as a non-resident alien, filing Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ plus Form 8843. Note that Form 8843 must be filed annually even if you have no requirement to file a tax return.

I would need to see the copy of the 2009 return to determine if you owe any additional taxes.
