Well timed rest day! Horrible rain outside. Meh!

Any of you knowledgeable people good at non-resident tax returns? I was given what may have been bad advice on arrival and now I'm not sure what to do.
Basically, I signed the tax treaty with the UK when I arrived as I told the lady I had no idea what my long term plan was, which means I don't have to pay federal tax for two years. It now looks like I'll be staying for that long as Rob is moving over in May, and I've opted out of the treaty for this tax year, so have been paying tax since January. I'm just trying to do my return for the year, and I told it the end date of my new appointment as my potential leaving date, and now it won't let me file my return with it, because the treaty will expire within my newest appointment.
I'm seeing the international tax lady to help me actually proceeding through the form, but she has a long queue and I could do with some mind at rest help until then!
So, the main question is, I know I'll have to pay back the tax I've missed thus far (and maybe a fine, great), but does anyone know if I have to do so with this tax return? I've been saving but I haven't made it up yet (I came here with nothing but debt, so I'm definitely on the up, and my outgoings will halve when Rob arrives). Even if the answer if yes it would be good to know ASAP, then I can think about finding the money.
I hate taxes. It's like reading another language. They are hard.
