今年3月从F-1变成绿卡,报2011的税使用form 1040NR-EZ,中间如实回答了是否申请绿卡等问题,同时写明从3月26号开始身份从F-1变成绿卡

-Why did you tell IRS you got the green card this March? It is irrelevant to your 2011 tax return filing, doesn't it?

今天收到IRS一封信,说our records indicate that you may be required to file Form 8854, initial and annual expatriation statement

想请问各位老师,这个表是属于我该填的吗?不是的话,如何给IRS解释清楚?

-I have never heard the green card holder need to file that form and I think USCIS was just confused about you. I just checked IRS website and found that this form applys to US citizens only:

"Expatriation tax provisions apply to U.S. citizens who have relinquished their citizenship and long-term residents who have ended their residency (expatriated). Form 8854 is used by individuals who have expatriated on or after June 4, 2004."
