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.

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?
