Hi there, I am non resident alien under F-1 Visa. This is my 4th year in the USA. I filed my 2013 taxes using Form 1040NR-EZ, taxes 2014 and 2015 using Form 1040, and this year I'm filing via Form 1040NR-EZ. I realized that for 2014 and 2015 I made a mistake. What should I do? Do I amend tax return for 2014 and 2015? I'm worried this mistake might interfere with my future status or employment.
Thanks in advance.

As a F-1 visa holder, you are considered as "exempt" meaning not counting days for five years starting from the date of your first arrival in the United States. After the five years period, you will start counting days by using the Substantial Presence Test to see if you qualify to be treated as a US resident for tax purposes.
You are supposed to file a Form 1040-NR for the tax year of 2014 and 2015 and will need to amend your original tax returns.
To amend from Form 1040 to 1040NR, here are the steps:
-As TurboTax does not support the NR form, you are recommended to use our affiliated partner, Sprintax to complete your 1040-NR filing.
