Should I mention the amount of money I get monthly from my dad from abroad on my tax return? I'm a foreigner reside in the US in last one year and it's my first return.

My family are not in America and I get some help from them to meet my expenses monthly.

Gifts received from family members are not taxable and do not get entered on a tax return.

 

Before you try to use TurboTax---

 

If you are a non-resident alien, your return must be filed on Form 1040NR, which cannot be prepared using TurboTax.  You can use TT’s partner, sprintax:
