@chilicheng , please tell more about your situation such as
(a) When did you enter the USA ?
(b) with which visa --(F or what )
(c) Which country are you from ?
(d) Was your work/earnings under EAD or what ?
(e) Was your filed return accepted for processing, or already processed and refund issued or what stage is the return in ?
(f) Did you receive a W-2 or 1042-S for your earnings ? Or was it something else ?
Once the situation is clear then we can go into the process of filing an amended return -- if needed.
I will circle back once I hear from you
if you are supposed to use NR, Turbotax does not support this form. you'll have to amend the 1040 once finalized to show all zeros (this may require mailing)
I mistakenly filed my taxes using Form 1040, although I am on an F-1 OPT visa. I first came to the U.S. in 2022 to pursue a master’s degree. In 2024, I was studying in Massachusetts and also interned in San Francisco for a month under CPT. I graduated at the end of May and began working for Samsung in San Francisco on July 1st under F-1 OPT, from which I have received W-2 forms from both the company and the school. Given these circumstances, should I have filed using Form 1040-NR? How can I correct this? On the TurboTax, it shows
@chilicheng , given your answers and assuming that 2022 was your first and only entry in to US during 2020, 2021 and 2022, you were probably on exempt status ( five calendar years including 2022 ). If that is true then while under EAD/OPT you are still exempt and therefore NRA. Thus you should have filed form 1040-NR ( not supported by TurboTax).
Best path forward -- wait till the refund is issued signifying completion of processing, then use somebody like SprinTax ( you probably used them, for your 2022 and 2023 filing if you had income ) to file an amended return for the Tax Year 2024.
This is not an emergency situation -- just wait for the process to finish.
Is there more one of us can do for you ?
