Dual Status Alien and forms

HI,
I am a dual status alien and I'm trying to file my taxes.
In 2013 I earned income only while being a non-resident(J1 visa holder), then I became a resident in December and had no income.
What forms should I file?
IRS says : "You must file Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, if you are a dual-status taxpayer who becomes a resident during the year and who is a U.S. resident on the last day of the tax year. Write "Dual-Status Return" across the top of the return. Attach a statement to your return to show the income for the part of the year you are a nonresident. You can use Form 1040NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return or Form 1040NR-EZ, U.S. Income Tax Return for Certain Nonresident Aliens With No Dependents as the statement, but be sure to mark &quotDual-Status Statement&quot across the top."

I had no income during the part of the year I became a resident! What am I supposed to write in 1040?
Thanks
