Filed 1040 Instead of 1040-NR — How to Fix It?

[diana-ternovaja2015]

I mistakenly filed the wrong tax return form for 2024. My husband and I were not U.S. tax residents, as we moved to the U.S. in July 2024. This means we should have filed Form 1040-NR. I answered all the questions correctly, stating that we hadn’t lived in the U.S. for more than 6 months, but the software still generated a regular 1040 resident return. I understand that I now need to file Form 1040X along with Form 1040-NR, but I have no idea how to do this through this website, and I haven’t been able to find a way to do it on my own.

You will need to amend your Form 1040 after it's processed by the IRS. See the instructions from TurboTax Expert KarenJ.

After you amend your 1040, you'll also need to file your 1040NR. TurboTax doesn't support Form 1040NR. You can use Sprintax to complete your 1040NR.
