Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You will want to use the rules for the First-Year Choice.  Under the rule, you can choose to be treated as a U.S. resident for part of the current year and be taxed as a dual-status alien for the current year so you would only pay taxes on the income after you established tax residency.  See Tax Residency Status – First-Year Choice.

 

Other than the FBAR and 8938, you may only have additional filing requirements if you received gifts or are the beneficiary of a foreign trust.
