Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@anomymous , generally if you came in as a F-1, you are considered an exempt person ( from counting days present towards SPT ) for five calendar years including the year you entered.  So when did you first enter US with F-1 ? Was this your very first  entry with three prior years ?

Note that if you are still NRA then you will have to file your return on form 1040-NR ( not supported by TurboTax -- use SprinTax or similar services or tax professional familiar with international taxation ).

BTW -- which country are you from ?

And yes generally NRAs  use W8-BEN and therefore receive a 1042-S.
