Foreign Students temporarily present in the United States in F-1, J-1, or M-1, status for less than 5 calendar years are generally nonresident aliens under residency rules of IRC section 7701(b). Generally, foreign students in F-1, J-1, or M-1 nonimmigrant status who have been in the United States more than 5 calendar years become resident aliens for U.S. tax purpose if they meet the “Substantial Presence Test”.
If in 2024 you had been in the US for less than 5 calendar years or did not meet the substantial presence test, then you were a non-resident alien. As a non-resident alien you cannot file Form 1040, which means you should not have filed using TurboTax. You have to file an amended Form 1040 and re-file on Form 1040-NR.
