Regarding Dual Status Alien for 2024

Hi,

In 2024,  I was in US for 4 starting April on visitors visa. I returned back to my home country and entered as immigrant (Green Card) in Sep. The total days spent during 2024 is greater than 183. However I have not been in US for 4 years preceding this.

As per IRS p591, I can file dual status return - a non resident return until Apr-2024 and resident return post this. I do not have income in the USA for 2024, but have global income.

Are there any disadvantages of filing dual status return in this case? Also how can this be done in TurboTax.
