    File nonresident tax return with Form 8843 for 2010.
    For amending your 2008 tax return you will file form 1040X with properly done nonresident tax return and form 8843.

    Its been very complicated to correct my mistake, I am in two states in year 2008, I have filed 1 federal (for both Tx+IL ) form and state tax form (for IL).
    So now do I need to send 1040 X along with correct form for two tax filings ?
