I'm going to be late on filing my taxes for the first time. I got married this year and haven't met with our accountant yet. I'm unsure if we're filing jointly or married-but-separate. How should I handle filing an extension if I don't know how we're going to file? We may owe thousands or nothing. Should I make an estimated payment of $3000, and could it be problematic if we don't owe that much or trigger a closer look by the IRS?

I made two mistakes when filing my 8843 form along with my tax return. 1. I filed 8843 under "Teachers and Trainees" but I think I should have done it under "Students". 2. I forgot to fill in my Country of Tax residence, passport number of citizenship. Is there a way to send a corrected 8843? Many thanks!
