I am a non-resident alien and I accidentally filed my return with Turbotax with the form 1040EZ instead of 1040NR. What should I do?

You must prepare the correct Form 1040NR.

Then attach that to Form 1040X, with explanation "Filed on the wrong form EZ instead of NR".

do you prepare the correct form like if it was the first time? I mean he already got the refund back so in line 23 "how much do you want refunded from line 22" what should we put?
