Hi,

 

I entered the United Stated in August 2018.

No, you cannot file with TurboTax.

 

As an F-1 visa holder, you are a non-resident for five years from the year you first arrived in the US. 2018-2012

 

You are required to file a Form 1040-NR.  As TurboTax does not support any nonresident tax forms, you are advised to contact Sprintax which is affiliated with TurboTax to help our international students and nonresident customers with their US tax returns.

 

You might need to send back the money if IRS requests.
