Get your taxes done using TurboTax
In general, an F visa is a student visa. You are considered a non-resident, and you are not allowed to work. You can receive income as a student (stipend, etc) and you file a non-resident tax return.
An H visa makes you eligible for work and you are considered a resident for tax purposes.
That means that for 2022, you are a dual-status alien. You need to calculate your taxes twice, once for your non-resident status and separately for your resident status. Turbotax does not prepare non-resident tax returns or dual-status returns, you would have to find another provider. (I don't remember if you actually file the two separate returns, or if you combine them somehow.)

There are general rules for dual-status aliens at that IRS link but I don't know if the tax treaty modifies them.
Since your return is due in a few days, I think you should get an extension. This may take a while to figure out.
I agree @pk is the ultimate authority on tax treaties.
