As a F-1 visa holder, you are
considered as "exempt" meaning not counting days for five years
starting from the date of your first arrival in the United States. After
the five years period, you will start counting days by using the Substantial Presence Test to see if you qualify to be
treated as a US resident for tax purposes.
In your situation, you are
considered as a nonresident from 2010-2014 filing a Form 1040-NR. Starting
from 01/01/2015, you will start counting your days. If you meet the
Substantial Presence Test in 2016, you will be considered a US resident for tax
purposes and file a Form 1040 for your tax year of 2016.
First, you have to report your full income.
Then you can enter the treaty exempt amount as negative income under "Less Common Income". You will have to file form 8833 to claim an exception. You cannot e-file but can use Turbotax to prepare your return, print them out and submit along with the form 8833.
Here are the instructions:
1. Enter your full income accordingly. Then enter the treaty
exempt amount as negative amount ( -5000) under Federal
Taxes / Less Common Income / Miscellaneous Income 1099A, 1099C / Other
Reportable Income
2. You will have to file form 8833 from IRS to claim
an exception. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8833.pdf
