TurboTax doesn’t support 1040-NR after IRS accept my return

[christinap73]

I use TurboTax file federal and state (CA and WA) tax returns, but I realize it doesn’t support 1040-NR after IRS accept my return. I haven’t got the tax refund yet.

1. Should I use sprintax to file 1040-NR before Apr 15 as a superseded tax return?

2. Or should I wait for IRS to give me a refund / reject the tax return, then file an amended tax return? If so, do I just need to file a 1040-NR and 1040-X to amend, or are there other forms I need to include? Finally, do I need to mail the forms when amending, or can I efile the amendment as well?

3. Whether I file superseded or amended tax returns, do I only need to file them for federal (and the IRS will automatically reconcile my state returns), or do I also need to file them for state returns?

2. Or should I wait for IRS to give me a refund / reject the tax return, then file an amended tax return? If so, do I just need to file a 1040-NR and 1040-X to amend, or are there other forms I need to include? Finally, do I need to mail the forms when amending, or can I E-file the amendment as well?

• It would be wise to have the status of the return completely processed.

3. Whether I file superseded or amended tax returns, do I only need to file them for federal (and the IRS will automatically reconcile my state returns), or do I also need to file them for state returns?
