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
