JV ji, please can you provide the following -- when did you enter USA  as F-1, when did you depart, did you complete all the paperwork when leaving in March of 2017 ---- I am assuming that you are an Indian citizen and  as of March  2017, you have closer connection to India than USA ??

Without  the particulars  needed , the best case is that you are a Non-Resident Alien  and therefore US will tax you only on your US sourced income. Did you have any US income during 2017?  Is that why you are filinga US return?
