Can F1 students exempt tax return form 1099-MISC?

I'm an international student with F1 visa. I received a 1099-MISC form with $4000 income for last year. I know I still need to file the 1040 tax return form, but can I exempt the tax from my income? I have already used Turbotax to file the tax return form and paid the tax to IRS. Can I get a tax refund?
