Irs Attach To From 1040nr: Fill & Download for Free

Yes, but if you did not file Form 8843 when you filed Form 1040NR, you will need to file Form 1040X to amend your previous filing. File the Form 1040X along with a new Form 1040NR (marked “AS AMENDED” on each page), the corrected Form 8843, and a copy of the originally filed Form 1040NR (marked “AS ORIGINALLY FILED” on each page).If you have not yet filed Form 1040NR for the year in question, you can simply file the appropriate return as a delayed return with Form 8843 attached. You may be subject to penalties for late filing if you owe tax. If you are not required to file a return, you can just file Form 8843 late. Make sure you use the form for the correct tax year (you can get past-year forms from the IRS website).You cannot use Form 8843 to exclude days in which you were present in the United States as a professional athlete or in the United States for medical treatment for a condition which arose while you were in the United States, unless the form was filed in a timely manner. However, a late filing of Form 8843 can be used to exclude such days for the purpose of the substantial presence test if you were entitled to exclude them for any other reason. There may be other consequences of a late return; some elections that are available to taxpayers to reduce their tax must be taken prior to the due date of the return; a late filer is not permitted to make any of these elections but must accept the “default” election in all such situations. I’m not sure how many of these apply to Form 1040NR filers, however.

Form 1042-S is supplied to foreign persons who have income subject to US withholding, even when no taxes were withheld. It's an information document that allows the employer to report those payments to the IRS.What you do with it depends on the type of income reported on it. For example, Form 1042-S is often used to report income that is exempt from withholding because the recipient has claimed a tax treaty benefit. If this is your case, you'd report the income on the appropriate line on page 1 of Form 1040NR depending on the type of income, report the amount exempt due to the treaty on line 22, and fill out Schedule OI to identify the specific treaty article that provides the exemption; you'd then attach the 1042-S to your return.

As the previous responder replied, you must decide and verify whether either you or your spouse should have filed form 1040 NR and form 1040 for the other spouse. Once that decision is made and you file amended return(s), the IRS will except a reasonable explanation for how you chose to divide the income, withheld taxes, income from other than work, credits, etc. Simply attach the explanation stating how you came to the apportionment of the original refund with your amended return.As a side note, these amended returns should be mailed together with a copy of the amended return for the other spouse attached to each of the original amended returns for each spouse. Normally, tax returns should be mailed separately for each year, entity, or each person. This is generally true for all returns except those that reflect a portion of each return. Although not required, this tactic will help assure that the hand processing of these returns will be conjoined and not lead to confusion in processing at the IRS.
