What is the penalty, if any, for mistakenly paying US federal taxes as US tax resident instead of a non-US tax resident?

Personal Finance & Money Asked on June 30, 2021

Determining the US tax residency can be slightly tricky and as a result I wonder what the penalty is, if any, for mistakenly paying US federal taxes as US tax resident instead of a non-US tax resident.

Assume that paying US federal taxes as US tax resident doesn’t yield any money saving compared to filing as a non-US tax resident (i.e., no malicious intent, just an genuine mistake).

One Answer

If no additional tax is due, likely there is no penalty. You can file to amend your mistaken return with Form 1040-X.
