Hungary

 

An individual who is a resident of Hungary immediately before arrival in the United States and is here for full­time education or training is exempt from U.S. income tax on payments received from outside the United States for the individual's maintenance, education, or training.

 

The full time student or trainee may instead choose to be treated as a resident alien of the United States for U.S. income tax purposes. Once made, the choice applies for the entire period that the individual remains qualified for exemption as a full time student or trainee and may not be changed unless permission is obtained from the U.S. competent authority.

 

Publication 901  page 21, for more information.

 

You will probably need to attach Form 8833 (Treaty Based Return Position Disclosure) to your return.  TurboTax does not support this form but you can find it on the IRS website.
