Filing amended tax return (form 1040X) for NRA spouse

[AKSinghSingh79 143]

My husband worked in the US back in 2008-2009 while on a J-1 visa.

I just recently filed our taxes for the first time as jointly. My refund came today in a much lower amount that was supposed to be and IRS claims on their website that part of my refund has been withheld due to a past due tax obligation. Because my taxes have always been filed properly, my guess it that there is a past issue with my husband's taxes.

I questioned my husband today and he does not remember that far back. He used TurboTax. He also never received his refund from 2009 and I have tried several times to get it without success.

I think the best thing to do in our situation is file an amended tax return form 1040X for his 2009 wages.

The form asks for an address. Do I have to put his 2009 address, his current address in India or can I put my own address?

Is there a way to file his amended form online? I know you cannot e-file past years.

I may just have to hire an accountant as this is very confusing.

Hello,

I am from Myanmar and I am trying to amend tax return too.

Can you tell me the process of amending tax return. I know about 1040X form and I already got it filled out and what else do I need to send together with 1040X ?

Thanks a lot
