Is there a specific form for non-citizens to file their tax return?

[rjs · Accepted solution]

What form you file depends on whether you are a resident alien or a nonresident alien. A resident alien is treated the same as a U.S. citizen and files Form 1040. A nonresident alien must file Form 1040NR, which TurboTax does not support.

You should refer to IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens. Chapter 1 explains how to determine whether you are a resident alien or a nonresident alien. Chapter 7 gives filing information, including what form to file. You can download Publication 519 from the following link.
