    Refile 8843
    Hi,

    I am an international student in US since 01/02/2002 and I have never left this country since that day of arrival. I forgot to file my Form 8843 last year, for 2005.

    Should I

    1. refile 8843 for 2005 together with my 1040NR-EZ and 8843 for 2006?

    Or

    2. only file 1040NR-EZ and 8843 for 2006 and let the IRS to update my file to the satisfaction of the IRS?

    I am looking forward to hear from you. Thank you very much!

    Regards,
    Piggley

    Piggley:

    Mail in the 2005 Form 8843 by itself in a separate envelope.

    Then file your 2006 tax return.
