Unfortunately, you will not be able to use TurboTax to
file your tax return.
If you are an F-1 visa holder, you are considered a
non-resident alien for the first 2 (non-students) or 5 (students) calendar
years because you will be exempt for the Substantial
Presence Test (SPT) .
Please refer to this US Tax Guide for Aliens for additional information about visa exemptions
and the various filing requirements.
As a nonresident alien, you are only
required to file a US tax return for income from US sources. If you are required to file a tax return, you will
file a Form 1040NR. TurboTax
does not support Form 1040NR but you can go
to the following website https://www.sprintax.com/ which is specifically designed to help
international visa holders file 1040NRs.
Here
is a link to the IRS website for Form 1040NR:
