If your tax home was in a foreign country after you left the US and you had a closer connection to a foreign country, you could choose to be dual status, with residency terminating when you left the US. See Last Year of Residency in Publication 519. You would need to file a statement with the IRS to make this choice.

    2. if you are a resident for the whole year, yes. If you are dual status, resident up until you left and non-resident afterwards, no.
    Thank you for the prompt response.

    I have a couple of questions regarding 2018 US Tax Return:

    1) What should be my US Tax Filing status for 2018, Resident Alien or Dual Status Alien?

    2) Should I report the income I earned in India (salary, interest, etc.) which was generated after permanently returning from US i.e from Jul-2018 to Dec-2018?

    Kindly help.
