Ask an AI Accountant

While I'm not specifically familiar with TurboTax's offerings, I can give you some general guidance on filing taxes as an F1 visa holder. As an F1 visa holder, you're considered a nonresident alien for tax purposes if you haven't passed the Substantial Presence Test. Nonresident aliens typically need to file a Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ to report their U.S. sourced income. Some tax software, like TurboTax, may offer versions or packages designed for nonresident alien filings. Before using any tax software, ensure that it supports Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ, as that's the appropriate form for most F1 visa holders who are nonresident aliens. If you're not sure whether you qualify as a nonresident alien or if you have other questions about your specific tax situation, it's best to seek guidance from a tax professional familiar with nonresident alien tax matters.
