FBAR filing for intern on J1 visa?

I am a French citizen, I arrived in the US on July 15th and have been there since (therefore 170 days in the US in 2016). I am on a J1 Visa doing an internship, and therefore a non-resident alien. Do I need to state that I have a financial bank account in my home country on TurboTax? Do I need to file FBAR? I'm not quite sure for both. Thanks!

As a nonresident alien you are not required to disclose foreign accounts. But you can also not use Turbotax
