Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@leezhengze , agreeing with the comments from @Hal_Al , and noting that you have not answered all my questions ( needed for a focused answer ), :
(a) assuming that you have been with F-1 for more than five calendar years and therefore not immune to counting days present in the USA, you are probably a Resident for Tax purposes. Thus you are eligible to file on form 1040 ( which is supported by TurboTax).
(b) if your return ( irrespective of residency status ) showed a refund due of withheld taxes, and IRS processing agrees with that position, then , yes, you should get a refund due from the IRS. Same is true for a state return.
(c) Note also that irrespective of your residency status, Tax treaty between your country of citizenship and USA may affect your refund amount -- therefore the question about your citizenship.
I would also like to point out that all of us volunteers always ask for info onl;y when absolutely required to provide a proper answer ( aligned with the particular situation) and not just " in general" type of answer. We have no access to your information beyond what you post here and should be assured that never ( NEVER ) do we ask for personally identifiable information .
