@aymen-m-taleb-gm , having read through your response to my questions and the comments thereto by @MayaD , and generally agreeing with, just wanted to add that
1. As a Non-Resident Alien, you are taxed ONLY on US sourced income
2. Non-Resident Aliens use form 1040-NR which is not supported by Turbo Tax ( SprinTax is their partner in this or your school may have facilities for this )
3. You still need a Tax ID -- TIN ( SSN or ITIN ) to file.
My question in all this is -- why or whom told you that you have to file a return if as a Non-Resident Alien and with zero US sourced income. ?
However, as @MayaD , pointed out , even with zero income and having no requirement to file a 1040-NR, you are still required to file form 8843 ( just download this from www.irs.gov ), fill it out by hand and mail it in shown in the instructions for the form -- here is the info from IRS--->https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8843.pdf
Is there more I can do for you ?
