Can I change my status from resident alien to a non resident alien as I have chosen resident alien by mistake?

I have selected resident alien by mistake and want to change it to non resident alien before I file on turbo tax. How can I do that please?

TurboTax does not support non-resident alien.  Contact our partner Sprintax to file as non-resident alien.

If you are a nonresident alein you cannot use TurboTax.  You will need to file IRS Form 1040-NR and TurboTax does not support this form.

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for Form 1040-NR - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/turbotax-handle-form-1040-nr-nonresident-aliens/L6XqFCkC3_US_en_US?uid=m7ezs252

Is there any reason you are trying to file Form 1040? 

Are you married to a resident and attempting to file a Married Filing Joint Return 1040?
