Can I use turbotax to file my taxes if I am a foreign former graduate student living in the US from August of 2012 until May of 2018? I used it last year.

I no longer live in the US and I'm not sure if I'm still considered a resident.

In the year of transition between being a nonresident and a resident for tax purposes, you are generally considered a Dual-Status Taxpayer. A Dual-Status Taxpayer files two tax returns for the year—one return for the portion of the year when considered a nonresident, and another return for the portion of the year considered a resident.  Your resident tax return (Jan-May 2018) can be prepared with TurboTax.

All non-resident tax return forms like 1040NR, 1040NR-EZ or 8843, are available with instructions on the IRS website. You can also use software like Sprintax to guide you through the non-resident tax return preparation process.
