@ludark_6 , having gone through this thread and agreeing with my colleague @xmasbaby0 response, I think we need to first get the basics -- so please can you help by answering the following questions :
(a) When did you enter the country and with which visa ?
(b) From your post it sounds like you have a family here -- is your spouse a US person ( citizen/GreenCard/ Resident for Tax purposes) ? How about any children and/or dependents ( citizen/GreenCard or NRA )?
(c) Which country are you from ? If your spouse is not a US citizen, which country is he/she from ?
d) Is 2025 your first year of US filing ?
The above answers will let us make sure that you are indeed an NRA for tax purposes and if there are any tax treaty considerations.
Or are you saying that the issue here is that the qualifying dependent for EITC is not US citizen ?
Generally speaking , if the IRS has accepted ( for processing ) a return filed on 1040 when it should have been on form 1040-NR, I would wait for it to be processed before taking any further action.
If it turns out that indeed you needed to file a form 1040-NR, then you will have to file a 1040-NR ( covering ONLY US sourced/connected income ), attach an explanation as to the error in using the wrong form, attach the form 1040 ( the one that was processed ) and send everything by mail. Note also that on 1040-NR, there is "Single " or "Married" status only -- essentially single for tax purposes.
I will circle back once I hear from you --yes ?
