Can Turbotax do R-1 visa taxes? If it cant, then which form do I need to use to file the taxes for the R-1?

It depends. 

If you stay in the US for more than 183 days in 2018 or meet the  Substantial Presence Test SPT, you are considered as a US resident for tax purposes.  You can use TurboTax to file a Form 1040.

If you do not meet the rules, you are a nonresident.  You need to file a Form 1040-NR.  You will need to contact Sprintax to complete your filing.
