Do you qualify for the very simplest of tax returns ? Are you a citizen/resident ? What is your gross income ? Do you have just a W-2 or are there other incomes ?

If you are still within the first five Calendar years ( counting the year of admission ), then you are still Non-Resident Alien and need to file using the form 1040-NR ( not supported by TurboTax ) -- you need to use SprinTax ( TurboTax partner), tax professional etc.
If you have completed the five year exemption period, still on F-1 OPT / etc. then we need to work out whether you are Non-Resident Alien or a Resident Alien for tax purposes. When did you come into the country? Which country are you from ( India? )?
