    Wrong filing 1040A and 1040NR
    Hello! My name is BeBE. I am an international student with F1 visa. I filed 1040A form using a Turbo Tax and everything was OK. I will receive my refund soon, but people said that its illegal. Is it really illegal. What should I do if its illegal? How can I fix it? Or they will not know if I get the money>>? *** answer to me asap.
    !! But there is one thing I have to really ask, turbo tax gave me about 940$ for the education expenses tax and I know I am not supposed to get it. Unfortunately I have spent the money and do you think the government can find out this thing? ALso, this summer I am going back to my country and going to back after 1 month. Do you think I can pass the immigration officer freely or they will know that I got a wrong tax. How this wrong filing will affect me? *** answer to me as much as you can. Thank u You're the Best!

    Bebe:

    You filed incorrectly. You will have to amend the return by submitting Form 1040X and attaching a properly-prepared Form 1040NR-EZ plus Form 8843. You WILL have to pay the education credit back. You can use a payment plan for that if necessary.

    If you need professional help filing your amendment, email me at [email protected] or [email protected].
