Since you do meet the Substantial Presence Test and were a resident alien from the start of the year, you are a resident alien for the entire year. That means you need to report worldwide incomer for the entire year, including income earned after leaving the US. You can use the foreign paid tax credit to avoid double taxation.
Another option is to apply for an early residency termination date. You would need to attach a statement to your return. This would make you a dual status alien and for the time after you left the US you would be a nonresident alien and only report US sourced income for that time. However, Turbotax does not support this kind of return and it is not easy to do, so you might end up paying more than you gain to a tax professional.
