Received 1099 MISC working abroad as non resident alien, how to report it properly?

So my situation is a little bit tricky. I received a 1099-MISC working for an US company for 2 months (Jan - Feb 2019). I was work remotely in Asia as a foreign contractor. No visa or anything. After then I got my work visa (H1B) approved, moved to US to work for the same company and received a W-2.

 

According to my research, I was working as a non-resident independent contractor for this 1099MISC, which means I don't need to pay taxes for it. However, tax-wise I am a resident alien for the rest of the year so I need to pay taxes on my W2s for sure.

 

My question is, how can I report this 1099 MISC properly, and does turbo-tax support this? I don't want to pay taxes I don't own, but definitely don't want to piss IRS off by not reporting a 1099 I received.
