What year did you arrive in the US?
I want to confirm that you are a "student", and not a teacher, intern, or trainee, right?
Are you married?  If so, what is their visa status?
Did you have any US health insurance?

i arrived in 2017. Yes, i am a student. No i am single. Yes i had a health insurance but only for 4 months which i have spent in the US. The other months i was in my own country

As a student on J1 you are a nonresident alien for 5 calendar years and would need to file form 1040NR plus 8843. These are not supported by Turbotax. You can try Sprintax or file on your own.
