Hi,

I am from India and I came to USA in 3rd Nov 2006.I am currently staying in North Carolina.
I filled the federal as well as state tax return.I got the refund from state tax agency.For Federal tax return came to know that I filled with 1040EZ instead of 1040NR.Also there is an amount under EIC. What will happen to my return and what should I do for that.Since I am in USA on L1 status and will back to India in the end of APR therefore it bothers me.Please help me and suggest me what to do.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Satya:

You need to act quickly. You are NOT entitled to the EIC and need to return it by filing Form 1040X with a properly=prepared Form 1040NR-EZ attached. Print the word 'AMENDED' on top of the Form 1040NR-EZ.
