Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It depends how long you have been in the US.

 

As a J-1 visa holder, you are considered as a non-resident for the first two years since you entered the US.  After that if you are more than 183 days within the US while on the J-visa you are considered as a resident for tax purposes. 

 

If you are considered a resident then you can use TurboTax.  If you are considered a non-resident then you cannot use TurboTax since it does not support Form 1040NR for a non-resident.  You can prepare your return through a company we partner with called Sprintax
