    If you wish to talk, email me at [email protected] or [email protected] and I will send you a phone number.

    You DID file incorrectly in the past years, and you DO need to fix it by amending your return with Form 1040X and attaching properly-prepared Forms 1040NR-EZ and 8843 to the Form 1040X.

    Your mistake is a common one, so do not get overly concerned. You need only to correct it as noted above, and everything will be fine.
