    Filing previous years Form 8843
    Hi,
    I am an international student living in USA since August 2014.
    I did not file form 8843 in 2015 and was wondering if I can file form 8843 for last two years (i.e. for 2014 and 2015) along with my tax forms for 2015.
    If yes, do I need to attach any letter stating the reason why I missed my 8843.
    If no, are there any repercussions of not doing so?

    Regards,
    Ankti

    Download, complete, print, sign and mail the 2014 Form 8843.

    You can downloads it from www.irs.gov.

    Mail it to:

    DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
    INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
    AUSTIN TX 73301

    It will be late, but better late than never. I have never heard of any adverse consequences for filing the Form 8843 late.

    File the 2015 Form 8843 with your 2015 tax return.

    You may want to send them in separate envelopes, i.e. one for each year, to avoid drawing attention. May or may not help.
