    Naga:

    Go to 1040.com Website and download the 2005 version of Form 8843.

    Fill it out, sign it and mail it to the following address:

    Internal Revenue Center
    Austin, Texas 73301

    To my knowledge, there are no penalties for filing late, and, as the old saying goes, better late than never!
