Yes, you form 8843 as well as Schedule Ol. As an F-1 student, Form 8843 is what "proves" you are a nonresident by explaining why you are exempt from the Substantial Presence Test. Sprintax will generate this automatically.   Schedule OI (Other Information) is a mandatory part of Form 1040-NR. It asks about your visa history, your country of citizenship, and whether you are claiming a tax treaty. Sprintax will include this in your PDF download. You must sign and include it.   Here is the link for Sprintax for further assistance.   @Rabin08

There is a way if you used TurboTax to file your 2024-tax return, you can prepare, (BUT NOT FILE) an amended return.   You can then import the 2024-tax return and make changes.

You don't need to pay for a Tax Specialist to cancel your TurboTax subscription. Cesar was just restating your original question of "How do I cancel TurboTax for this year. I started with TurboTax but then went to a Tax Specialist."    You can take the steps outlined above to cancel. The steps to cancel are also listed in our help article here. 

Yes, this is normal because these were trustee-trustee rollovers and not 60-day rollovers. The reason you haven't received  1099-R's is that these transfers are non-reportable events for tax reporting purposes.

are you clear that Pay With My Refund costs an additional $40 fee and routes your refund through a 3rd party bank for processing.  it's like a very bad loan on your Turbotax fees, just pay out of pocket if able.

Hi, I have seen those instructions as well.  There is no "Save your 2025 return to your computer" option.  I have taken my return online all the way up to the pay for filing page, and it didn't change.  Anything else I can do to get that option to appear?  Thank you!

The Gain/Loss for EACH TRANSACTION is NOT calculated in the tax return. Only the TOTAL gain/loss for all crypto transactions is reported under codes H and K, which was summarized on the cover page of my Fidelity 1099-DA. The 1099-DA transaction detail pages say these are noncovered digital assets so the info reported to the IRS does NOT include "cost basis, acquisition date and holding period", even though all this data is included in the 1099-DA sent to me. The only thing not included in my 1099-DA is the gain/loss for each sale. I have researched numerous sources and they all say I still must calculate this myself.  Makes no sense - if I mail the 1099-DA with all the cost data, acquisition date and holding period, the IRS has all the support data it needs if an audit were required. 

    I am having the exact same issue!  The Turbo Tax team could not help me and its a lot of money difference (over $10,000 in deductions missed) I am going to have to hand do the 1040X at this point!  GRRR

If you don't think your taxes have been filed, I suggest you go back through the filing process.  Be sure that your original copy wasn't rejected. If it was rejected, correct the issue. If you've already paid, we will not charge you again. If your returns have been filed, the IRS will reject the new copy.

    I already filed with the ONLINE version .  I was correctly done as Itemized and appears to have changed it when I was proof reading other parts of the return.  I was trying to fix by amending the return.  I spend an hour with a TURBO TAX person yesterday who could not fix this.  It is a glitch in the software.  My only option appears to be to manually amend
