Hello, I wrongly reported the years of stay in US when I came to my current university -- It seems that I didn't correctly report the days I studied in a previous university as I hadn't got any payment then. Now, I'm told that I shouldn't have signed tax treaty last year. However, coming from China, I find that I'm still eligible for exactly the same treaty benefits even I become a resident alien.With 1042S form in hand, I'm not sure what to do... Can I simply attach it with a 1040 form? In W2, the $5,000 is already deducted from taxable income... Could anyone help me? Thanks!

A follow-up question about where to mail the tax return:

For a resident alien filing form 1040, should the tax return be mailed to the filing address for the Form 1040NR? I read it from https://international.utk.edu/files/2017/02/Tax-Resident-claiming-treaty-benefits_TY2016.pdf. It seems counter-intuitive. I'd like to confirm. Thank you.
