My tax return was accepted and I have received my tax return!

If you are a non-resident then you are required to file a 1040NR instead of 1040. You will have to file an amended tax return (see instructions below). Depending on your tax situation you may or may not have to pay some of the refund back to the IRS.

You will have to file an amended tax return (1040X) and send in the correct form 1040NR. You will have to download, fill out and print Form 1040X: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040x.pdf 

Please follow these instructions:

• Enter your name, current address, and social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) on the front of Form 1040X.
• Don’t enter any other information on page 1. Also, don’t complete Parts I or II on page 2 of Form 1040X.
• Enter in Part III the reason why you are filing Form 1040X. 
• Complete a new or corrected return (Form 1040NR). 
• Across the top of the new or corrected return, write “Amended.”
