Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@JudyJY , generally if you had not been in the USA at all during the prior three years, or never used the exempt  status ( F, M, J etc. ) then you should be exempt for five calendar years.   During exempt days , you nto counting days  present AND you are therefore a Non-Resident Alien.  I am giving general  answer because I still don't know when you entered the USA with F-1 and if you had been to the USA  ( what visa, which years and for how many days each time).   I do see that you were in the USA with B visa   but I need the whole story here .   I also don't understand why your visa is for three years and not the usual five years --- what education are you doing  ( is it a course  for two/ three years ? ), like an MS or special training or what ?

 

My suspicion is that you are probably still an exempt  person, Non-Resident Alien.

 

Note that  the tax treaty  with most countries, monies received by students from home country  is not taxable income  ( so please tell me the country where your parents reside and/or are citizen of ).  Of course you should also note that your US bank would have raised a SAR ( Suspicious Activity Report ) as a matter of course  on any activity above US$ 10,000.  Mostly nothing happens to these.

 

I will circle back once I hear from you
