@adityain2003 , thank you for your answer to my questions. Namaste Aditya ji
(a) absent any contravening facts, from your post you appear to be a Non-Resident Alien (NRA). Therefore you need to file your return on form 1040-NR ( not supported by TurboTax --- need to use some service like SprinTax, your own school Foreign Student office etc.).
(b) If above is true and you have filed a form 1040, then you need to amend your return. This would mean filing a return using 1040-NR, a note explaining ( and including a copy of your original return--1040) that you had used the wrong form. On this 1040-NR, you have to recognize the US sourced income and then exclude this income with a comment such as " Exclude Per Article 22 of US-India tax treaty".
(c) Note that this exemption from tax is valid for two years from the date of entry and if your plan ( or high likelihood) of extension of stay past two years, then you are better off allowing the taxation of the income to proceed i.e. not assert article 22 conditions/benefits. This is because there is a claw back condition if employment/stay goes beyond 2 yrs. ( IMHO India uses "may" rather than "will" while US technical explanation kind of recognizes the "may" but does not quite clarify. Also I have not come across any case history one way or the other).
Is there more I can do for you ?
