My family are not in America and I get some help from them to meet my expenses monthly.

Gifts received from family members are not taxable and do not get entered on a tax return.

Before you try to use TurboTax---

If you are a non-resident alien, your return must be filed on Form 1040NR, which cannot be prepared using TurboTax. You can use TT’s partner, sprintax:
