Can we use turbotax to e-file (been in US with H1-B visa little over two years)?

[kolahalb]

Hello Everyone,

I have been working in a lab in the US little over two years with H1-B visa status. I came in February 2017 and My wife joined me since September 2017. Last year, I manually filled 1040EZ and applied for my wife's ITIN. Can you please let me know if this year we can e-file using TurboTax? From Substantial Presence Test, it looks like we are eligible to use TurboTax, but somebody (who was a student in F1) told me one needs to be five years in US before they can file using TurboTax. This does not apply for me, because I never lived in the US as a University student in F1 visa. 

Appreciating your time and support while you answer.

Regards,

Kolahal

If you are not an international student, but instead have been in the US on an H1-B visa since 2017, you can file a married filing jointly full year resident tax return in TurboTax.
