For
tax filing purposes, J1 visa holders are considered Nonresident Aliens for the first 2 (non-students) or 5 (students) calendar year. As
a nonresident alien, you are only required to file a US tax return for income
from US sources. If you are required to file a tax return, you will file a
Form 1040NR. TurboTax does not support Form 1040NR
You can go to the
following website https://www.sprintax.com/ which
is specifically designed to help prepare nonresident alien tax
returns for international students.
