If you are on an F1 visa and have been in the US less than 5 years or part years, you would be a nonresident. Were you previously in the US on an F1 visa?
If you arrived in the US in 2016 on an F1 visa, your exempt years would be for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. I'm not sure how Sprintax calculated your US days on an F1 visa.
However, if you are considered a US tax resident for 2019, you can file using TurboTax.

Why is my scholarship taxable?
If you use your scholarship to pay for any of these, it counts as income and the amount paid is taxable:
- Room and board
- Travel and incidental expenses
- Any fees, books, and supplies or equipment that aren't required for your courses
If you're getting a degree at an eligible school, your scholarship is tax-free when used for:
- Tuition and fees
- Fees, books, supplies or equipment required for your courses
- Any scholarship or fellowship for services received under the National Health Services Corps Scholarship Program or the Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship and Financial Assistance Program
For example, if you used your scholarship to pay for tuition and room and board, you would be taxed on the room and board payment but not on tuition.
Where do I enter a scholarship, fellowship, grant, or other financial aid I received?
