If you used TurboTax to file your US taxes, you will be filing as a resident. This means your tax return will be inaccurate and you may be subject to fines and penalties. Sprintax is the nonresident partner of choice for Turbo Tax.
If your return has been filed and accepted by the IRS, you will need to file an amended return.
You need to complete the top portion 1040X including items A and B, the signature at the bottom of page 1, and
Part II on page 2. See https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040x.pdf for a PDF of form 1040X.
It will be easier to complete 1040X outside of Turbo Tax.
You will complete form 1040NR-EZ or 1040NR
Turbo Tax does not support the 1040NR. However, Turbo Tax has partnered with Sprintax for assistance in preparing US tax returns by international filers. See https://www.sprintax.com/non-resident-alien-tax-1040nr-turbotax.html. if you need help with the 1040NR.
You will print and mail into the IRS the following
- Form 1040X
- Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ with “AS AMENDED” written on top of each page, and
- a copy of the Form 104A you originally submitted with “COPY OF ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED” on top of each page.
Mail to the address provided in the IRS 1040X instruction.
Remember – you can easily prepare your nonresident tax return with Sprintax. Get started here.
