Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You may need to file as a Dual Status Alien if you had any income from US Sources after you left the country. Otherwise, you may only need to file a 1040 form (for which you could use TurboTax) on the income you received while a resident of the US.
Since 2023 was your last year of residency, and you were a Green card holder, the first day that you were no longer a lawful permanent resident would be the date your US residency filing requirements would have terminated.
So basically all of your income in January thru May would be on the 1040 form and if you were no longer a US resident the rest of the income you earned in Hong Kong would not be taxable to the US. Your wife's income also would not be included on your return.
You would not be able to claim any of your expenses in Hong Kong as those expenses were not incurred while a US resident.
You would also include a statement with your 1040 form to establish your residency termination date. See page 13 of pub 519 for details on what to include in the statement.
As for which version of TurboTax to use. You will need to print and mail your return to include the termination statement, but you would be able to use the free version if you have been using that in the past.
If you do have income from US sources that you received AFTER you terminated your residency, you would need to file a 1040NR to claim that income. You can use Sprintax.com to do this or print and mail it from the IRS website.
