Filled wrong form

I filled form 1040 instead of filling 1040 NR as I am a non resident alien and wasnt aware of it. The return got accepted by IRS. How do I make changes?

You will need to amend your return to correct the form.  However, you must mail the amended return along with the completed 1040NR with the amended written across the top.  Do not e-file the amendment or the 1040NR.  To complete, follow these instructions.

 

  1. Complete your 1040NR in Sprintax but do not e-file.  You will need to print the return to mail with the amended return.
  2. Sign in to TurboTax
  3. On the home screen, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select the year you want to amend
  4. Select Amend (change) return, then Amend using TurboTax Online
    • If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax CD/Download below instead
  5. On the screen OK, let's get a kickstart on your amended return, select the reason(s) you're amending and Continue
  6. When you reach Here's the info for your amended federal return, select Start next to the info you need to change
  7. Enter your name, current address, and social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) on the front of Form 1040X.  
  8. Don’t enter any other information on page 1. Also, don’t complete Parts I or II on page 2 of Form 1040X.  
  9. Enter in Part III the reason why you are filing Form 1040X.   
  10. Across the top of the new 1040NR return, write “Amended.”   
  11. Attach the1040NR to the back of Form 1040X.
