Student on F1 visa with paid internship: How to estimate & file a tax return for refund?

Question

I'm on an F1 visa, and I did a paid internship for 7 months. My gross earnings was around $27K, and ~$4K was withheld for taxes.

On my pay stub, I see records for:

Federal Income tax,
California State Income tax,
California State DI tax.

What is the approximate amount I can expect for a refund, and how should I file?

The best way to estimate taxes is SnapTax by Intuit. Although it files with TurboTax, which does not support F1 tax filing, you may want to enter your details just to see how much you could expect as a return – just don't file your taxes with it.
