asked

I immigrated to the US on 2/26/2022, resided in Jersey but worked in NYC till 5/31, then worked in MA until 12/31. I filed a 1040 based on advice from CPAs and acquaintances. However, I feel I need to file a dual status return. Is that correct? If so, do I need to file a 1040X along with the dual status return? If I amend my return after receiving a refund and end up owing money, how does that work? Could filing the wrong form lead to jail time? Should I amend my return or leave it as is, given that all other information in my returns is accurate?
