No, F-1 and J-1 visa's are counted by full or part years. If you arrived on August 14, 2014 then 2014 is your first year (being in the US for even one day counts as a year). So your exempt years are 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. Starting January 1, 2019 you start counting your days of presence in the US. If you were in the US for 183 days or more you are a US resident and can use TurboTax to file your taxes.
Your employer should have started withholding January 1, 2019 unless you qualify for the student FICA exemption.
