    Filing wrong 1040EZ instead of 1040NR-EZ. Forgot to file 8843 for years
    This year I've filed my tax return. It turn out that I've filed the wrong one. I have to file 1040NR-RZ instead of filing 1040EZ. I'm currently in F-1 (OPT).
    I've already got the return amount .

    So what do I need to do to correct my mistake?
    I know that I have to file 1040NR-EZ and 1040X to amend the tax.

    My current status is Single (no dependents) with F-1 (in OPT) Visa.
    I did the same mistake for 2011 tax return too.

    Besides, I forgot to file form 8843 for years. Do I need to file 8843 for all years I stayed in the U.S

    Please leave me your suggestion.
    I'm highly appreciated your help.
    Thank you very much!

    Amend the returns using Form 1040X, and attach properly-prepared Forms 1040NR-EZ and 8843 with the amendments.

    Print the word "AMENDED" on the top of the Form 1040NR-EZ.

    Thank you very much.
    By the way, do I need 1040NR-EZ, 8843 and 1040X for the year of 2011 or just 8843 & 1040X.
    Thank you.
