Thank you for your response, @DaveF1006!
I am filing as a single.
Almost all of my income in 2022 came from US sources: from an academic job (reported on w-2) for the Jan-Aug '22 period and a small amount of interest income (1099-INT) from US bank accounts for the entire 2022. I have still maintained my US bank account, but expect to close it sometime in 2023.
I did not work in my home country (India) in 2022 and therefore I do not have any income from such a source.
However, I did open a savings bank account (balance < $1000) in my home country (in Oct '22) after I came back from the US, which has accrued some interest (likely less than $50) till 31 Dec '22.
My H1B visa was only valid until late August/early September and I left the US on my last visa date. So, I was a resident at the beginning of the year but was not physically present in the US at the end of 2022. Prior to 2022, I filed taxes as a resident for at least 5 years.
Please let me know if you need more information and if I can still file as a resident for the full year.
Thank you.
P.S.: After your reply, I tried to look up other similar posts, but it appears that depending on individual cases the options to file (full resident vs dual-status) could vary.
