I was in USA under F-1 status (student), moved back to India in March 2017. I started working in India in September 2017. Do I need to show foreign income for tax filing?

JV ji, please can you provide the following -- when did you enter USA  as F-1, when did you depart, did you complete all the paperwork when leaving in March of 2017 ---- I am assuming that you are an Indian citizen and  as of March  2017, you have closer connection to India than USA ??

Without  the particulars  needed , the best case is that you are a Non-Resident Alien  and therefore US will tax you only on your US sourced income. Did you have any US income during 2017?  Is that why you are filinga US return?

I changed status as F1 in 2015, departed on March 2017, I worked from Jan 2017 to March 2017. I completed all the paper work. Yes I would fall under NRA. Filing for the income earned in start of 2017 period.

Are you saying that you came into the USA  under F-1 in 2015 and stayed here till March 2017 and that you had worked  as an employee  from Jan 2017 thru Mar 2017  Or did you mean that you were here before 2015 and changed  to F-1 in 2015 ?  Was the work OPT or Summer job or  what?  Did you have a different work visa during those months of 2017 ?  Depending on your answers you may indeed by NRA for the first three months of 2017 and therefore file 1040-NR ( which TurboTax does not support ) --- you can contact Sprint Tax or download the 1040-NR forms from the IRS site and fille the  fillable .pdf forms and mail in.  Hopefully you do have an address in the USA ( a firend's perhaps whom can recieve IRS contacts , if any ) and your  US bank account is still operations  so your refunds can be deposited.
