You need to include tf.exe full path. For example, you want to check in files with tf checkin command in PowerShell:

$filePath = "C:\Users\username\Source\Workspaces\teamproject\solutionname\projectname\Class1.cs"  
Set-Alias tfs "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\tf.exe"  
tfs checkin $filePath   /noprompt

This worked for me. I added the path of TF.exe ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE" in my case) to system environment PATH variable (through My Computer->Properties->Advanced System Settings->Environment Variables->System Variables->Path->Edit).

You can check if "tf" is working by typing "tf" in the powershell. If you get an output something as : Microsoft (R) TF - Team Foundation Version Control Tool, Version 14.102.25619.0 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. ......

tf is working properly.
