At the beginning of the Earned Income Credit (EIC) section of the interview, TurboTax will ask if you lived in the U.S. for more than half of 2025. If you answer Yes it will check the box on Form 1040. That checkbox doesn't affect anything except the EIC. If you are not eligible for the EIC it doesn't matter whether the box is checked or not.
