Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, you would not need to file a nonresident return in 2019 even if you had bank interest from a US bank, unless the interest is connected to your conduct of a US trade or business.

Please Note:  If you are filing a return in TurboTax, you are filing a full year resident return.  As such, you must include your worldwide income from January 1 to December 31, 2018.  If you earned income in December after leaving the US, you need to report that income on your US tax return.  You can use foreign tax credit to offset any double taxation.

Let me know if you have any questions.
