Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you can file a full year resident return with TurboTax with an ending date of 12//31/18. You would need to claim your worldwide income for calendar year 2018 and utilize foreign tax credit to help offset any double taxation.  This will allow you to use the standard deduction. You only would not want to file a full  year return if you sold any real estate property after leaving the US or had large gains from investments.

See page 8 Last Year of Residency for more information. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p519.pdf
