    filing 1040EZ instead of 1040 NR-EZ
    Hi,

    I was on F1 status for the whole year of 2005. By using some software I have filled 1040EZ instead of 1040NR-EZ.
    As I couldn't get one w-2 form in time, I amened the return (I obtained through 1040EZ) using 1040X.
    Will there be any issue with this. Do I need to submit anything to show to the IRS that my status for the year 2005 is non-resident alien(for which I am supposed to submit 1040 NR-EZ) instead of resident alien?

    Thanks

    There IS an issue. You should have filed Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ.

    If, in the future, you want to apply for a green card, they check to see if you filed correctly. Right now, you have NOT filed correctly.

    Amend the return again using Form 140X and attach a Form 1040NR. There should be no additional tax due.
