Since I'm a non resident alien, I couldn't use turbotax to file my tax refund electronically and I had to mail it physically. So I "sent" it on 4/15, hours before the last pickup using USPS first class mail. However, I just found out that it was returned to me for reasons I don't know yet as it doesn't even say "Return to Sender" on the envelope. I guess I'm done for and will get deported back or something. Is there anything I can do to prevent that...?

If you are a nonresident alien you can't use TurboTax to file your U.S. tax return. You have to file Form 1040NR, which TurboTax does not support. TurboTax has a partnership with Sprintax to prepare a Form 1040NR federal tax return and corresponding state tax return for certain categories of nonresident aliens - international students, scholars and non-resident professionals. Go to the following link for the details of who can use Sprintax, and to get started. If you do not meet the requirements to use Sprintax, you will have to find another way to prepare your Form 1040NR.

Whether you could be deported for not filing your tax return on time is a legal question, not a tax question. You have to consult an immigration lawyer about that.
