As a F-visa holder, you are considered as a nonresident for five years from the first year you entered the US.  In your situation, you are a nonresident for the year 2014-2018.  As TurboTax does not support the nonresident tax forms, unfortunately.  You are advised to use our partner, Sprintax to complete your filing.

What visa do you have?  When did you first enter the US?
