I moved to U.S. on November 8, 2024 from Canada. I had income in Canada and I paid taxes there. After November 8, 2024 I was only earning income in U.S. I am filing a dual status return, as I was a resident alien on December 31, 2024.
I prepared a form 1040NR using Spintrax and 1040 using Turbotax desktop version. I followed the guidelines listed here:

However, I have a higher refund when filing under 1040NR then filing as a dual status return. I am entering federal taxes withheld from 1040NR in 1040SR line 17Z in the schedule 2. I thought by filing as a dual status return, the refund or taxes withheld would be lower.
