@wendydn To prepare your 2018 return as a non-resident, you would need to contact sprintax, which is our affiliate for preparing a non-resident return. Please contact them for the best course of action in preparing this type of return, specifically how to deal with the implications of amending a return from a 1040 resident return to a 1040 NR return.
Meanwhile, here is some recommended steps that LinaJ218 has mentioned in her Turbo Tax post on how to prepare the amendment.
- Download Form 1040-X from the IRS website ( see below). On the front page of Form 1040-X, enter your name, current address, and social security number (SSN) or IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN)
- Do not enter any other information on page 1.
- Do not complete Parts I or II on page 2 of Form 1040X.
- Enter in Part III the reason why you are filing Form 1040X.
- Complete a new or corrected form 1040-NR by using Sprintax, see above.
- Across the top of the 1040-NR, write “Amended”
- Attach form 1040-X to the back of Form 1040X
