No, you did not read that wrong, you are wanting to use the First Year Choice?
If you make the first-year choice, your residency starting date for 2023 is the first day of the earliest 31-day period (described in (1) above) that you use to qualify for the choice. You are treated as a U.S. resident for the rest of the year. If you are present for more than one 31-day period and you satisfy condition (2) above for each of those periods, your residency starting date is the first day of the first 31-day period. If you are present for more than one 31-day period but you satisfy condition (2) above only for a later 31-day period, your residency starting date is the first day of the later 31-day period."

If this also applies to you, then yes, you could file as a dual status alien for 2023.
So, you would be able to use TurboTax to prepare the 1040 form, however, to include your statement, you would need to print and mail your return as it would not be possible to attach the statement to your return to e-file.
For the time that you are a Non-Resident, you could use Sprintax.com to file the 1040NR.
