How to file 1040x for change of resident status?

I was filing 1040NR for last few years without knowing that I have been meeting substantial residence test and should file 1040 instead.



Now I want to file amendment return which should reflect residency status change from 1040NR to 1040.

Please tell me how I file 1040X that will show my status change from NR to residence. This will change everything like tax table, kids deduction/exemptions and allow standard deduction.



Someone please shade some light?

File this with Austin.

Fill out 1040 return. Mark it %26quot;amended%26quot; at the top.

Use the 1040X as a cover sheet--skip all numbered lines, add explanation and mail.
