Hi,
My wife and I were on G-4 Visa until October 2019 when received our green card.
We meet the Green Card Test but not the Substantial Presence test so we are considered dual-status.
On the IRS website Publication 519 - It says we can choose the resident alien status.
How do we reflect that in our tax filing thought Turbo Tax?

Choosing Resident Alien Status
If you are a dual-status alien, you can choose to be treated as a U.S. resident for the entire year if all of the following apply.
-
You were a nonresident alien at the beginning of the year.
-
You are a resident alien or U.S. citizen at the end of the year.
-
You are married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien at the end of the year.
-
Your spouse joins you in making the choice.
This includes situations in which both you and your spouse were nonresident aliens at the beginning of the tax year and both of you are resident aliens at the end of the tax year.
