What is your visa status?  And how many days were you in the U.S the year before?

Thanks for your response. My Visa type is H1B and this is my first trip to US. I landed on July 17, 2016 and never been here before that.

It depends.  For 2016 (last year), you are considered a United States nonresident for tax purposes.  Had you been in the country just a few more days, you would have qualified to file a resident return which does tax your worldwide income (the nonresdient return will not) but also usually has greater access to credits and deductions.  You will be required to file a tax return, Form 1040NR.  If you paid in more tax than what the tax laws say you had to, you will get some money back.  

Unfortunately, TurboTax itself does not prepare this form, but we do partner with a company that does, Sprintax.  Please see this FAQ for more information:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4028799
