Deductions & credits
If you choose to file using the first year choice, you will need to file a dual status return, part year nonresident and part year resident.
Dual status returns are complicated and would not end up as a better choice. You are not allowed to take the standard deduction on the resident part of the year.
File a nonresident return for 2019, then for 2020 you can file a resident return with TurboTax. See Sprintax for filing a nonresident return.
