After you file

The refunds will not be the same on the nonresident returns you will need to file.

You can use the steps here below to amend from 1040 resident return and file a correct 1040NR (nonresident return), AFTER the IRS has accepted your return and you've received a refund (or pay tax due). You will need to have your correct tax return prepared as a 1040NR. TurboTax does support nonresident returns however  we partner with Sprintax and they can help you with a 1040NR. 

Print your 1040NR in Sprintax; do not e-file it..  You must mail the 1040NR along with the amended return Form 1040X 

Per IRS Form 1040X instructions,  page 7: (amended instructions)/

To amend and file the correct return, do the following:    

• Enter your name, current address, and social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) on the front of Form 1040X.  

• Don’t enter any other information on page 1. Also, don’t 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 return, Form 1040NR,  

• Across the top of the new or corrected return, write “Amended.”   

• Attach the new or corrected return to the back of Form 1040X.  

**Make sure you check the box to show the tax year that you are amending on Form 1040X.
