安慰一下，没有你想象的那么严重

我买的glacier的amended return服务，39刀一个……四月上旬寄出去的，但是到现在还没有回信。不过我把差 ...

我朋友也是15年就开始报错。。。问两个问题
1. 有人说3年前的不用管，楼主还是amend 2015-2016年的了？
2. stimulus可以直接在网上交？网上搜了一下，都说要寄check payable to U.S. Treasury
谢谢

其实没什么事，IRS前几年取消了non-resident部门的hotline，打去IRS也找不到人问这事，根本没几个人搞得清这个区别，LZ装作不知道好好过日子就完了，如果真查到你，你就说不知道TURBOX的锅，把钱退回去再罚点钱搞定

我之前在州税局问，他们说即使可能不需要补交3年前的，也最好amend一下，他们可能就会回一封“谢谢”之类的信。
stimulus我是邮寄的。

哈哈哈谢谢！我已经在疫情峰值那段时间忙不迭地把amended和钱都退回去了，结果据说他们纸质材料审核因为疫情停止了，不过总算自己放下心了。

对了
网上说在这里可以查amended return status:
https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return
寄完大概三周后会出现
楼主可以查到吗？
如果查不到，或许是因为纸质材料审核停止？

楼主不用紧张，查一下你们学校有没有负责tax return 之类的组织。我们每年报税都是学校法学院组织的，还有免费的法律咨询服务。我觉得你们学校可能也会有，你可以搜搜

看到大家分享了这么多自己的经历，我也来讲一下我的。我也是2015年秋季来的美国，结果阴差阳错在2019和2020年的时候误用TurboTax报税，直到去年和今年都莫名其妙领到救济金之后才在开始疯狂查资料，而且询问了学校税务局，他们给的回复如下，我直接复制粘贴的邮件内容。总之来说就是吓得我赶快开始填写amendment form 1040-X，准备开始补报

INSTRUCTIONS FORINCORRECTLY FILED TAX RETURNS WHICH RESULTED IN ERRONEOUS RECEIPT OF STIMULUSMONEY (ECONOMIC IMPACT PAYMENTS)

You will need to amend your2019  (and any other incorrectly filed)tax return AND return the stimulus money.
H and R Block, or a qualifiedTAX PROFESSIONAL in your area may be able to help you, and there is a fee toamend the return.
www. irs.gov has informationabout tax filing or you may pay someone to assist you.

Return of Stimulus Payment:

·        With respect to the erroneous receipt of the stimulus payment, mostimportantly, the nonresident alien should NOT spend the erroneously receivedstimulus payment.  To return the payment, we suggest that the individualfollow the same guidelines provided by the IRS for when an incorrect federaltax refund is received, which are based on how the erroneous refund wasreceived:

o   Paper check that has not yet been cashed/deposited;

o   Paper check that has already be cashed/deposited; or

o   Direct deposit made to the nonresident alien’s U.S. bank account.

Amendment of Incorrectly Filed 2018and/or 2019 Federal Income Tax Return:

·        The nonresident alien must immediately file an amended taxreturn.  Information about how to amend the incorrectly filed 2018 and/or2019 Form 1040 may be found in GTP by selecting “FAQ” from themenu.   

It is important to note that if thenonresident alien does not immediately return the erroneously received stimuluspayment, he or she may be subject to interest accrued until the payment isreturned.  Also, until such time as theincorrectly filed federal income tax return is amended to submit the correctfederal income tax return, the nonresident alien is subject to a filing penaltyand/or loss of any otherwise applicable deductions or allowances, includingincome tax treaty exemptions.  While immigration issues are beyond thescope of our expertise, it is important to note that failure to file a correctfederal income tax return and/or filing a fraudulent federal income tax returnare violations of U.S. tax law and may potentially impact current or futureimmigration status.
