2020年才转为RA可以拿到1200刀么

大家好，楼主现在PhD第四年，然后按照学校的系统显示是2020财年变为resident alien(2021年报税的时候才会用上)。请问这种情况下我可以拿到H.R.748提案里的1200刀么？我看了美卡指南的帖子说好像是可以的，想问下有没有人和我一样情况的？

我也是2020年转RA，问了会计师，需要退款，原因如下：
1. 收到钱需要2020是RA，19也按RA报了税。
2. 2020年才成为RA但收到了纾困金是因为18、19年填错了税表（例如非RA报税本应是1040-NR，但用turbotax会自动报成RA），基于错报的2019-1040RA，IRS给的纾困金。
3. 最稳妥的办法是，退回$1200 并且提交amend修改前两年的报税错误（学生有五年免税一般情况下应该不需要补缴税款）。

不知道是否准确，供楼主参考。如果有懂行的小伙伴求请教这样对么？
