When I amend the return, Sprintax generated both 1040-X and a new 1040-NR, do i need to sign on both and physically mail to IRS? Or only the 1040-X is needed? Or do I need to mail the original 1040-NR not the new one? And they generate 1040-X with watermark "copy", which I don't think can be mailed to IRS

Only the Form 1040-X needs to signed, dated and mailed to the IRS, not the changed Form 1040-NR or the original Form 1040-NR.

However, if you have other forms or schedules which were changed then those also need to be included with the mailed amended return. Those forms or schedules will have an Attachment Sequence Number located in the upper right corner of the form or schedule.

If you have changes to the state tax return due to your changes on the federal tax return, then you should be filing an amended state tax return which you would mail to the state.

Since I moved from one state to another last year, and my previous state employer send me W-2, but I never submit state tax return to that state yet. So I think I only need the original state tax return, but when mailing, it always ask a copy of federal tax return. What do I need to mail? 1040-X and new 1040-NR or just 1040-X?
