Hi there,
I am an English citizen. I came to the US on F-1 status in August 2005. I have been on OPT since July 2009. I incorrectly filed form 1040 using Turbotax and understand that I must now file 1040X along with 1040NR. I also could not get back Medicare from my two employers so I understand I must file form 8843 for that. I have used CINTAX (provided by my University) to try and fill out the 1040NR correctly and have noticed that I no longer have the $5,700 standard deduction which means that my taxable income has drastically increased and it now looks like I owe the IRS my original Federal rebate of over $1700! I am concerned that I am not filling out the forms correctly, and would like my 1040X, 1040NR, 8843 and any other forms needed to be filled out by a professional. Please tell me which visataxes service will cover all of these forms so that I don't have to keep worrying about it. Many thanks! |

A quick check of the U.K.-U.S. Tax Treaty shows NO treaty exemption for U.K. students, so you do NOT get the standard deduction on your amended return. If you had state income taxes withheld, you can claim those withholdings as an itemized deduction, but you likely will have to pay some additional taxes.
Now, the refund for FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes withheld imporperly while you were on F-1 status is a SEPARATE PROCESS, requiring submission of Forms 843 and 8316. Please email me at taxexpert@visataxes.com for fee quites for your amendment and Form 843 submission.
