State tax filing

@kevolivas , having gone through your interaction(s) with @mesquitebean , I am just wondering if you are right in filing using TurboTax -- are you sure you are a resident alien for tax purposes ?   When did you enter the country  with F-1?  I am assuming that this is the first year you are filing a return--yes? 

 

If you have filed  using  form 1040 and you are not a resident for tax purposes, you will have to  refile using the correct form 1040-NR ( not supported by TurboTax ) , but it is easy to do   ( with downloaded form 1040-NR-EZ and taking advantage of  US Mexico tax treaty ).   Please tell us  when you entered the country with F-1, is this the first time in the USA with F-1, were you in the USA for any reason  in earlier years ??
