Am I a Resident Alien or Non-Resident Alien?

I am currently in my F-1 visa and I entered US in 2017 January and I did not go back to my home country until now (February 2019). Am I a resident alien or non resident alien? 

Thanks!

Am I a Resident Alien or Non-Resident Alien?

You are a nonresident alien for tax purposes. With F-1 Visa you were unable to count your days present in the U.S for part of 5 Calendar years toward the Substantial Presence Test.

 

You were a nonresident for 2017, 2018, and 2019.
