Yes, you need to file as a nonresident as you will not have passed the requirements for the substantial presence test (SPT). See below for more information on the substantial presence test.
Nonresidents do not need to report their foreign bank accounts.
TurboTax does not support nonresident or dual status
returns.
However we have a partnership with Sprintax offering a
nonresident/dual status tax filing solution to our TurboTax customers.

the TurboTax/Sprintax site for more info or to get started.
You will be considered a United States resident
for tax purposes if you meet the substantial presence test for the calendar
year. To meet this test, you must be physically present in the United States
(U.S.) on at least:
- 31 days during the current year, and
- 183 days during the
3-year period that includes the current year and the 2 years immediately
before that, counting:
- All the days you
were present in the current year, and
- 1/3 of the days you
were present in the first year before the current year, and
- 1/6 of the days you
were present in the second year before the current year.
Days that you were on an F-1 visa are not counted as days of presence.
