But I am not a plus member. I was charged a filing fee before. Can I get that back?
As a F-1 visa holder, you are considered as "exempt" meaning not counting days for five years starting from the date of your first arrival in the United States. After the five years period, you will start counting days by using the Substantial Presence Test to see if you qualify to be treated as a US resident for tax purposes.
In your situation, you are considered as a nonresident from 2015-2019 filing a Form 1040-NR. Starting from 01/01/2020, you will start counting your days. If you meet the Substantial Presence Test in 2020, you will be considered a US resident for tax purposes and file a Form 1040 for your tax year of 2020.

Since you have filed your Form 1040, you will need to do an amendment. Here are the steps:
-If you are considered as a nonresident, as TurboTax
does not support the NR form, you are recommended to use our affiliated
partner, Sprintax to complete your 1040-NR filing.

2. Do not enter any other information on page 1.
3. Do not complete Parts I or II on page 2 of Form 1040X.
4. Enter in Part III the reason why you are filing Form 1040X.
