Question

**"How to Correct an Error: 1040 Filed Instead of 1040NR"**

Hello, I filed my tax return for 2024 using Form 1040, but I realized that I should have filed Form 1040NR because I was a nonresident for tax purposes. I incorrectly filed as a resident, even though I indicated that I did not live in the U.S. for the entire year. Could you please advise on how to correct this mistake? Should I file an amended return (Form 1040-X) and submit Form 1040NR? I am unsure of the process to correct my filing. Thank you for your help!
