If you are an international student with an F1 visa, you don't file as a Resident until your sixth year in the US.
As a F-1 visa holder, you are considered as "exempt" meaning not counting days for five years starting from the date of your first arrival in the United States.
After the five years period, you will start counting days by using the Substantial Presence Test to see if you qualify to be treated as a US resident for tax purposes.
You can use Sprintax to file a tax return.
