No, it's a separate procedure, not part of the form 1040 tax return.

Also, as an F-1, you are considered a non-resident alien and you can't file with Turbotax at all, because Turbotax does not support the 1040-NR.  Turbotax partners with Sprintax for NR returns, or you can find another preparer.

Here is some info on the social security refunds.
