Deductions & credits

You were exempt from counting US days for 5 years or part years.  So your years of exemption were 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.  You start counting US days for the Substantial Presence Test on January 1, 2019.   So you are a full year resident and can file your return in TurboTax and claim the standard deduction.

 

FICA taxes are separate from your income tax and have no affect on your income taxes.
