You can file an amended tax return through Sprintax to fix your 2019 and 2020 tax returns. For 2020, wait until the IRS accepts your return before preparing an amended return.
The IRS will not consider an honest mistake to be tax fraud. There are no criminal penalties for making an unintentional mistake on your tax return. However, you may have to pay penalty and interest if you owe more tax.
If you were a student, I assume you were on an F-1 visa, making you exempt for five calendar years (2016-2020). During those years, you should have filed a non-resident income tax return (Form 1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ).

Your amended return (Form 1040X) will include a Form 1040NR/1040NR-EZ.
