You will have to complete a Form 1040-X if you should have filed Form 1040-NR instead of Form 1040.
If you are filing Form 1040-X on paper to file the correct return, do the following:

  1. Enter your name, current address, and social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) on the front of Form 1040-X.
  2. Don’t enter any other information on page 1. Also don’t complete Part I on page 2 of Form 1040-X.
  3. Enter in Part II—Explanation of Changes the reason you are filing Form 1040-X.
  4. Complete a 1040-NR- Across the top of the new or corrected return, write “Amended.”
  5. Attach the new return to the back of Form 1040-X.

You can use Sprintax to prepare your 1040-NR.  See TurboTax - Partner of Sprintax.
