I'm an international student with F1 visa. I received a 1099-MISC form with $4000 income for last year. I know I still need to file the 1040 tax return form, but can I exempt the tax from my income? I have already used Turbotax to file the tax return form and paid the tax to IRS. Can I get a tax refund?
Generally F-1 visa holders are treated as Non-Resident Aliens and therefor need to file form 1040-NR ( Not supported by TurboTax). Sprint Tax or a Tax professional or your school foreign student's office can help in this situation.
When did you enter the USA with F-1? What country are you from?

Thank you so much for answering my question! But actually, I have already filed form 1040 by TurboTax and paid the tax... Can I still amend my form now? I'm from China and have entered the USA with F-1 for around 4 years.
Well, if you used TurboTax then you filed form 1040 which is not correct. Suggest you visit SprintTax/ a Tax professional/ school foreign student office for help in preparing an amended return --- you prepare using form 1040-NR and attach a note explaining that you made an error in filing form 1040 --attach a copy of the filed return -- mark on top that this is ONLY a COPY -- do not process. Assuming that you came in with F-1 either 2014 or alter , you are still within the exemption period.
I apologize for not making this clear -- since in your post you do say that you have used TurboTax ( just could not add 2 and 2 and make four --sorry)
