Im an international student who is working using F-1 OPT. I came to Washington in the year of 2014 and graduated 2016 June. Can I use TurboTax?

[JohnR1 · Accepted solution]

International student F-1 visa holders who are in OPT and are physically present in the U.S. for 5 or fewer calendar years are exempt from the Substantial Presence Test used to determine eligibility for being a resident alien for U.S. income tax purposes: this means that you are considered a nonresident alien.

As a nonresident alien you will need to file a Form 1040NR to report any U.S.-source income you may have. TurboTax does not support Form 1040NR, so you will not be able to use TurboTax for your specific tax situation.

You may want to check out Sprintax , who are specifically geared towards international student nonresident aliens with 1040NR filing requirements.
