I am an F1-student and started my MBA program in August of 2021. Before that, I lived in The Netherlands. I engaged in CPT during September, October, November and December of 2021, which is why I need to file taxes. I used Turbotax to do this, but before filing, I would like to know if someone could help me check the return or if I need to use another program (like Sprintax), since I partially lived in another country?

You are considered a nonresident since you are in your first year on the F-1 visa and will have to file Form 1040-NR. TurboTax does not support Form 1040-NR for a nonresident. You can prepare your return through a company we partner with called Sprintax.

F-1 visa holders are not considered residents until their 6th calendar year in the United States. At that point, the Substantial Presence Test would need to be met to be considered a resident. Please see IRS Alien Residency Examples for additional information.
