You would report rental income from the S-Corp as rental income instead of other income.  It will be reported on Schedule E for your personal return.  The rent expense for the S-Corp goes where you entered it on line 11 of the 1120S.    Where do I enter income and expenses from a rental property?

1.  The IRS will make the adjustment. 2.  Sprintax is still fine but since you didn't file with them originally you will have to mail in the returns. 3.  Citizenship stuff is always complicated.  Only you know how comfortable you are with doing your taxes by yourself.  But there are experts who can help in Sprintax.   @user123450

Thanks Robert, and I apologize but I listed question 3 twice, my question was:    * In my case, I received a refund this year with my current forms. However, I'd have to receive an additional refund because I reported interest income from savings accounts, which I understand shouldn't be reported as a nonresident for tax purposes. Since I already received a refund this year, would I need to return it before applying for a larger refund? Or would the IRS just review the difference between tax paid and tax owed?   * You also mentioned that I should use sprintax since I used it originally, but I didn't. I used Turbotax for the forms that need to be amended, so I planned to use Sprintax to submit the new forms. I assume this plan works, but please let me know if you disagree   * Finally, you mentioned that the amendment can be complicated because of the change from resident to nonresident, is that still true if I overpaid taxes? Do you recommend hiring an expert to file the amendment for this type of case? Especially since the IRS review could take years    

The good news is that you only have to amend one of the returns into the married-filing-joint return.  So amend the one that has the most data already entered.   Because you can't import the other person's data.  You're going to have to re-enter it from scratch.     The other thing that you should know is that if you did not live together for the last six months of the year you are allowed to file as single for the year.  Since you've lived apart all of this time you actually could just both file as single.   @maxweb69 

When scholarship income exceeds the cost of room and board plus tuition and related expenses, it becomes income to your child.  If this is the only income and the total amount is under the filing requirement amounts, then there is no need to file a return.    Filing requirement  Scholarship, fellowship or education grant

Yes, enter this as if you received Form 1099-R. Be sure the name, address, and EIN of the plan administrator is correct.    When you finish, continue to the question "Did you miss a required distribution from any retirement accounts?" Check the appropriate box. Enter the amount of the distribution that was received after the end of the year. Check the "yes" box that a corrective distribution was made. Check "Yes, I would like to fill out a waiver." The waiver request is Form 5329. Enter the amount for the extra tax and an explanation for the delay in receipt. You should see "Good News!" to confirm Form 5329 has been completed.
