Please use the steps below to file the correct return and fix that you filed the wrong return. Do not use 1040-X in sprintax since you did not use them to file the original return.
- Download Form 1040-X
- Enter your name, current address, and social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) on the front of Form 1040-X.
- Don’t enter any other information on page 1. Also, don’t complete Parts I or II on page 2 of Form 1040-X.
- Enter in Part III the reason why you are filing Form 1040-X.
- Complete a new or corrected return ( Form 1040-NR, etc. you can try to use sprintax for this).
- Across the top of the new or corrected return, write “Amended.”
- Attach the new or corrected return to the back of Form 1040-X.
Please see Form 1040-X Instructions for additional information.
As a J-1 visa holder, you are considered as a nonresident for the first two years since you entered the US. You will need to file a Form 1040NR reporting only U.S source income.
