As a F-1 visa holder, you are considered as an 'exempt' individual, meaning not counting days when you reside in the United States.  You should be filing a form 1040NR.  For the TurboTax program, it does not support nonresident 1040NR and assumes every filer is a resident so there are no questions related to your immigration status being asked in the program. Since you have already filed the 2015 tax return, you are suggested to use our affiliated partner, Sprintax to complete your nonresident form and also amend the original return.  

Please follow the instructions below how to amend :

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040x.pdf - page 5 under Residents and Nonresidents.

 -Enter your name, current address, and social security number

   (SSN) or IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) on

   the front of Form 1040X.  ( You will enter APPLIED under your spouse's id)

- Do not enter any other information on page 1. Also, 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 return (Form 1040, Form

  1040NR, etc.).

- Across the top of the new or corrected return, write

  “Amended.”

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