Hey there!
I am an international student on F-1 visa and I think I made a mistake by using Turbo Tax to file my taxes. I ended up filing form 1040 instead of filing form 1040NR. I am aware that I will need to file a 1040X to amend it.
I had 2 questions in the meantime that I'd appreciate help with!
- Do you know if there is a way I can ask TurboTax for a refund (I was charged for the service in addition to being charged $50 for each of 3 states I filed in)?
- Should I check with the individual states I filed with to amend these filings or is there another way of doing it? (my federal tax return should probably be lower but my state tax returns should be higher)
Thanks a million!

1. You will not be able to receive a refund, unfortunately. You have already used the program to file. As TurboTax is designed for US citizens and residents to use to file their taxes, it is not our responsibility for verifying your residency status.
2. You might not need to amend your state return. Many states do not honor the residency rules under the IRS. However, you should check with your state to verify. Click here: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/help/how-do-i-contact-my-state-department-of-revenue/0...
To amend, you would need to submit both the Form 1040-X and form 1040NR together:
