Check your state Department of Revenue for non resident aliens, as I do not know what state you are in. But for federal, once accepted you can amend if you meet the criteria, as per IRS guidelines. Your 2022, 2021, or 2020 federal Form 1040-X amended return may be eligible for electronic filing if the original return was successfully e-filed using TurboTax.
Yes, if you got another form like a W-2, 1099-MISC, or a different form that needs to be reported after filing or you forgot to add something (or change filing status), you can still fix your return. You'll want to determine if the IRS or state has “accepted” the information you already filed. If the IRS or state has accepted it, you'll see Accepted as the status of your return when you sign in to TurboTax (in Tax Home) or when you open the CD/Download TurboTax software. If they have accepted your return, then you may need to amend your tax return.
If your return was rejected, you can add the missing form or information, correct the reason for rejection, and resubmit.
If you forgot to add something like dependent information, a deduction you qualify for, or even used the wrong filing status it can have a significant impact to your tax bottom line (your refund increase/decrease or amount due). Some info doesn't make a difference monetarily, but can still be something the IRS or state needs corrected. Your best bet is to correct (amend) the information and send it back to the IRS or state.
Read carefully:
If you do want to change or correct some info on your tax return after you've filed it, you may need to amend your return. Here are some things to know before you begin:
- You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
- Make sure you really need to amend
- Wait until your return has been accepted (or mailed if paper-filing)
- Use the same TurboTax account you used to file your original return
- Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
- Any changes you make to amend your federal return will automatically be transferred over to your state return

If you want to track the status of your amended return, use the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool. Allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.
If you are not feeling sure whether to amend, this IRS Tool may help you decide.
