Did you have income in the USA during 2018?

What is your citizenship status?   Are you a USA citizen or "resident alien for tax purposes", or are you a non-resident alien?  If a non-resident alien, were you in the USA on a visa?   If so, what type of visa?  And what dates were you in the USA?  When did you first come and when did you leave?

TurboTax cannot prepare returns Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ for non-resident aliens.  If it turns out that you are a non-resident alien, we can tell you about another company that TurboTax has partnered with for non-resident alien returns.

I'm going to ask someone familiar with international filing to tell you what all you need to do.   It will likely be later in the day.

@pk Are you able to assist this international filer when you are next in the forum?   Thanks!

From the above sounds like you have been in the USA ONLY during 2018 and then also probably less than 31 days.  The visitor visa does not allow you to work and therefore you probably did not have any income. Buying a property is not a tax event unless you bought the property  and rented it out or are holding the property as an investment ( i.e. you intend to sell  for  gain. ).   Her are some questions you need to answer  (a) were you in the USA in 2018  only or were you here anytime during 2016. 2017  ; (b) how many days in 2018; (c) how did you buy the property   -- cash or cash plus a mortgage  ( and if a mortgage as an individual or with somebody else or as an investment company; (d) did you have any income from US sources during 2018; (e) do you have  tax id -- for opening bank accounts and for mortgage;  (f) have you ever filed a US tax return etc. etc.

While the above would help provide a more accurate  advice, you should note that most likely you are non-resident alien and the tax return is generally filed on form 1040-NR based on   your withholding agent's  report ( 1042-S ) --- 1040-NR is not supported by the TurboTax software  they have a partner Sprintax for that.  Also  you can get help from your nearest US consulate ( they usually have an IRS section there ).
