Moscow (Russia), the CO didn't even ask for the new taxes, so the question never came up!

That's right! Because he didn't ask for those new taxes, so he never saw that IRs transcript. But we are still going to amend it, just so it is done the right way.

Here my story: 2 month ago i was filling tax with a tax repairer claimed that she got a lot of experience for filling tax since she used work as a tax auditor. She looking to my tax info, then file me as single. I paused her and said I want filed tax as MFS. She ask what is MFS? I showed her information on IRS website, then she said my only option is single???. I stop there and requested her file MFS , then print out one copy of it for me. Later day, I'm go home, put the NRA on spouse SSN, and mail it to IRS. After 3 week, get a  refund check from IRS. My conclusion: The tax repairer have no clue about immigration.
