When I amend the return, Sprintax generated both 1040-X and a new 1040-NR, do i need to sign on both and physically mail to IRS? Or only the 1040-X is needed? Or do I need to mail the original 1040-NR not the new one? And they generate 1040-X with watermark "copy", which I don't think can be mailed to IRS

    Only the Form 1040-X needs to signed, dated and mailed to the IRS, not the changed Form 1040-NR or the original Form 1040-NR.

    However, if you have other forms or schedules which were changed then those also need to be included with the mailed amended return.   Those forms or schedules will have an Attachment Sequence Number located in the upper right corner of the form or schedule.

    Who gave you the 1040-X with the watermark "copy"?
