You will need to wait to see if it is rejected or accepted. If it is rejected you would just not correct and efile it, instead just delete or clear your return. Then you would need to go to Sprintax and have a correct 2019 nonresident return prepared and filed.
If your return is accepted, you will need to wait until the IRS/ state have processed your returns and you have received any refund or paid any balance due.
You can use the steps here below to amend from 1040 resident return and file a correct 1040NR, AFTER the IRS has accepted your return and you've received a refund (or pay tax due). You will need to have your correct tax return prepared as a 1040NR. TurboTax does support nonresident returns however we partner with Sprintax and they can help you with a 1040NR.
After your 1040NR is complete, print your 1040NR with Sprintax; do not e-file it.. You must mail the 1040NR along with the amended return Form 1040X
Per IRS Form 1040X instructions, page 8:
