On F1/OPT you are exempt from residency for 5-years. You must file non-resident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ and Form 8843. Your income is not subject to FICA taxes but you must pay federal and state income taxes. On your OPT income/Since you have OPT income you will get deduction based on tax treaty between the U.S. and your country.

Nonresident return can not be efiled.
