This will depend on whether or not you met the substantial presence test.
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.

If you have been in the US since August of 2021, then you would meet the substantial presence test. This would mean you would be able to file as a US Resident for tax purposes, using TurboTax.
