If you are considered a Nonresident Alien - most international students are considered as such - please use link below:

I am enclosing an IRS link explaining international students details:

If you are considered a Resident Alien, you may use any Turbo Tax version.

This depends on your resident status. Determine your status by taking the substantial presence test at 1040nra.com

I filed my taxes for 2019, however I am a legal-resident of the united states living in Florida and I study online from a school abroad. Is there any way I can benefit educational deductions ? 

 

If so, how can I do this after already filing my taxes?
