    You need to amend the return by submitting Form 1040X with Forms 1040NR-EZ and 8843.

    Email me if you want professional help filing this amendment.

    Thanks, definitely I will contact you when I need professional help. But, how I can get these forms. Is it a lengthy process, or these kind of mistakes happen frequently by people?

    Also, since the deadline was April 15, to fill these amendment forms should I contact IRS first or just fill the forms and send it. What are your service charges, if I need your help.

    Such amendments are rather common, because it is a common mistake; I do about 20 a year.

    Submission after the 15 April 2013 deadline will cause no significant problems.
