Dual Status Filing Question

Hello, this is my first year filing US taxes as I became US resident in June 2024. Never been in the US before.
I did not have any source of income in the US for entire 2024. My only income is foreign income - India Govt Pension and Bank Interest. I am a senior and retired. I have couple of questions.

 

1) Do I need to file 1040-NR for the part of the year I was non-resident? Again, no US source of Income at all. In other words, what would I enter in the 1040-NR when no US income?
2) I will file 1040-SR for the remaining part of the year as a Resident. Can I take the entire standard deduction since this is part year or does it have to be partial? If no, then how do I adjust or enter it in turbotax?

 

Thank you!
