TurboTax can prepare returns for US citizens and "resident aliens for tax purposes."  It cannot prepare Form 1040NR/NR-EZ for non-resident aliens, but has an affiliate partner that can.  First , you need to determine how you are classified for tax purposes.    Please answer the following:

 

  1. What country are you from?
  2. What visa are you under?
  3. What dates were/are you in the USA--when did you come and how long have you been here?

Once you answer all the above, I can ask someone familiar with international filing to advise you on what all you will need to do.
