Most likely, and you might have to amend your returns. On F1 you are a nonresident alien for 5 calendar years and not eligible for educational credits. If you filed as resident alien, you would need to amend. When did you come to the US on that F1 visa? WEre you in the US before on an F1 or J1 visa?
