I have a few follow-up questions:
1. If I file form 8919 for 2024, does that trigger an audit for my employer since my employer will have to match the taxes that I will pay?
2. If there is an audit, my ex-employer is going to claim that I was a non-resident, even though they had my correct I-20 on file which is the document that houses my SEVIS ID which when run through USCIS database will prove that I was a resident. Will the IRS be able to use this information to make that determination?
--> Otherwise, I'm worried that along with my ex-employer being audited I'll get an audit/summons from the IRS, or some sort of lawsuit from my ex-employer, both of which I'd like to avoid at all costs.
3. Is it wise to inform my ex-employer that I'm submitting form 8919?
4. How do taxes impact immigration rules? Am I more likely to get into immigration trouble? Should I consult an immigration lawyer before triggering something like an audit for my ex-employer?
5. I'll have to file an amended return through FreeTaxUSA which only allows paper returns. Is there any way I can import that into TurboTax to minimize my effort to submit taxes?
If you're able to help me file my taxes correctly this year, amend taxes from last year, and help me through the process in case there's retaliation from my ex-employer / IRS I'd love to employ your services. If you think there's no risk of that happening, I'd appreciate you letting me know/helping me answer the questions I noted above to the best of your abilities. Thanks a LOT for your help!
