After you file

Hi David,

@DavidS127  I'm an international student, and I figured I filed an incorrect return on Turbotax and I need to follow the steps you mentioned i.e File the form 1040X amended return with form 1040- NR. 

 

My questions are:

Q1) Do I need to make the amendment asap or can I do it in my next tax cycle next year? 

Q2) I received the stimulus check in the mail after filing 1040R(when I should have filed 1040NR). What do I do with this check? Should I use it and then in my next tax cycle or amendment it would be taken care of as an extra tax or should I refrain from using it?


Thanks
