    F1 student forgot to file form 8843
    Hi,

    I'm a F-1 student and I didn't know that I had to file form 8843 last year and I didn't find out until today. What should I do? Should I mail both in separate letters?

    Please let me know.

    Yes, mail them in SEPARATE envelopes; better late than never.
